So you don't think there were any technological benefits from the Apollo space program?
Me? I didn't say that. There were also some from Hitler's secret experiments, and World war 2, etc. Should we get those going again, and maybe get a few more pearls of wisdom of man?
1. Tell it to the firefighters who are better protected because of flame-retardant and protective materials that came out of the program.
Really, maybe the dead ones from 911? Were the planes and fuel improved as a result of the program as well!? How about the toxic lightweight plastics in a burning building? Maybe those as well owe credit to..bows head....gasp...Apollo?
2, Tell it to the people who are alive today because of miniaturized implantable defribilators for their heart.
Maybe I should tell it to the hundreds of millions of babies that are slaughtered by science and medicine as well? And to the dead children whose body parts and tissues etc are used in various ways by science? The public education sysytem needs a defribilator.
3. Tell it to the people who help bloated electrical grids function because some of us use solar panels that generate more electricity than we use in parts of the year.
Should I tell them we landed on the moon in the 1800s as well!?
"The
photovoltaic effect was first recognized in
1839 by French physicist
A. E. Becquerel. However, it was not until 1883 that the
first solar cell was built, by
Charles Fritts, who coated the
semiconductor selenium with an extremely thin layer of
gold to form the junctions"

4. Tell it to the lunatics who insist on having to get dialysis to stay alive and can benefit from improved systems over the older systems.
So Appollo gave us the machines?
"Dr. Willem J. Kolff, a Dutch inventor, is widely referred to as the father of artificial organs. Kolff created the
first kidney dialysis machine in the early 1940s"

5. While you're visiting the hospitals and clinics telling people about the lunacy, make sure to stop off and have a gab with the people who have insulin delivered by a programmable implantable delivery system designed based off of NASA Apollo technology
If science didn't refine all the foods so much, and etc, we probably would'nt need to. People take knowledge we have, and apply it to whatever they get paid to apply it to. The Manhattan project, for example. Do remember them fondly, when you use your bloated power grid, fed by reactors now.
None of that helps the fables on the origin of the moon, or makes it believable that magical space explosions kick up a cloud, and "somehow" the moon forms. Neither does it address the claimed earth origin of the water by science. (as a few of the ways they theorize water got there).
About all some do is show an adoring attitude to science, as if it were a god. I consider it more like my slave. If it does good, maybe toss it a cracker.
