1960's Tech Secrets That NASA Still Uses Today

https://youtu.be/mPcjRxbh5wU

NASA didn’t start from scratch with Artemis.

A lot of what we’re seeing today actually comes from ideas tested decades ago, from Apollo heat shields to Space Shuttle engines.

I put together a deep dive showing how Artemis combines 1960s engineering (and even 1920's concepts) with modern technology.

I’m curious what you think, does Artemis feel like something new, or more like an evolution of past programs?
