I'm sure I'd like a manager like him. Quote:And yes, the smartphone - and sohisticated microelectronics in general - are usually said to be spinoffs of the space program. But that is not true. We would have all that without the space race as well. Maybe two years later. Tang. Only space program spinoff I ever heard of at the time. Nasty stuff!
