mc2hill Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Very cool. That would have useful for Rick - he wouldn't have gotten so sore from claying his Falcon. Of course, he may not have noticed that he clayed through the metal either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Very cool... makes me sad that they only seem to be looking at it from a military/defense standpoint. I understand why... go after the deepest pockets: US government defense contracts, but I'd like to see its focus turned to applications for people who maybe are paralyzed, prosthetics, and things of that nature.

jpu471 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 it seems to be that two edge problem where military applications and warfare needs spur civilian needs. seems backwards though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Our country's history shows this is usually the case... It trickles down over time. Chris Yea, I know. It would just be refreshing to see a company develop this technology for HUMANITARIAN use first, military second, but I'm realistic - I know that money makes the world go round.

There's a positive to this though... Our government spends A LOT of the money and time perfecting it, before it gets to "us". Wait... Is that a positive or a negative? lol It's amazing how many things were developed for the US military that we use daily now and don't even realize it.

jpu471 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 On the other hand NASA gave us Tang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 On the other hand NASA gave us Tang And WD-40... WD-40 was first used to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion. Norm Larsen repackaged WD-40 into aerosol cans for consumer use and the product was sold to the general public in 1958. In 1969, the Rocket Chemical Company was renamed after its only product WD-40. WD-40 stands for....... Water Displacement 40th attempt... This is why it SUCKS for breaking bolts loose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 WD-40 stands for....... Water Displacement 40th attempt... HA!! And I thought we went thru a lot when we developed products - Adam's Severe Swirl Remover 10th Attempt just doesn't have the same ring to it.
