Trivia: What gadget’s invention stemmed from the moon landings?
VCR
Dustbuster
Digital watch
Boombox
The correct answer is Dustbuster
So why is this answer correct? : In the 1960s, NASA hired Black + Decker to create power tools that could be safely operated in the reduced gravity of outer space. This led to innovations such as the B&D Moon Drill for astronauts, and cordless tools for everyday consumers back on Earth. Throughout the ’60s and ’70s, Black + Decker continued to expand its lineup of cordless products before hitting on a winning combination with the Dustbuster, a rechargeable, handheld vacuum that quickly became a bestseller.
