FYI: One of the most remarkable things about the Moon landing was how short a time it took. President Kennedy proposed NASA would land a person on the moon, and a short eight years later, it did. That meant that it accelerated technology development far faster than would have happened otherwise, says Ella Atkins, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers senior member. “The rapid prototyping and deployment would have been unprecedented without that kind of program.” The experience gained by companies like Honeywell and Motorola helped push industries like avionics and communications decades into the future.
