For lunar lander related "technological advances used in everyday life"?

Just also (like Level42) spotted that Teflon is not an invention related to lunar landings. I guess you could argue that it's use in the lunar landings started it's breakthrough, but that's a bit of a stretch.

Why you gotta be like that?

OK, start here:

I guess you're right tho, that database only starts in 1976, and the moon landing was in '69...  Stupid worthless space program.

Well there has to be something. When you spend a lot of money, basically invent a whole new industry, there has to be some spinoff that can be used in other areas too.
