The history of the Dustbuster holds an intriguing connection to NASA and the iconic moon landing. In the early 1960s, as NASA geared up for the Apollo missions, there arose a pressing need for power tools that could be safely operated in space. NASA’s engineers were particularly concerned about cords, which could easily entangle astronauts in the weightlessness of zero gravity. NASA turned to Black & Decker, a renowned manufacturer of household appliances to create these tools. Black & Decker would eventually develop a lightweight handheld vacuum which would become known as the “Dustbuster.”
The correct answer is DustBuster.
