Strong agree. It’s boring, lazy, and wrong. The Apollo program is notorious for inventing all kinds of technologies as part of the effort. We should celebrate

Strong agree. It’s boring, lazy, and wrong. The Apollo program is notorious for inventing all kinds of technologies as part of the effort. We should celebrate ambitious “moon shot” (or loon shot) efforts. It’s awesome when companies support ambitious and crazy efforts. These projects often pay all kinds of unexpected dividends. In both technological development and people development. Was landing on the moon useful? Not really, no. Was the effort to land on the moon useful? Hell yeah it was. Kudos to all the companies that fund bonafide research.
