== Teflon ==
Teflon is often attributed to NASA or the apollo program, but that is infact not true. Teflon was discovered privately (and accidently) at a DuPoint lab in 1938 by a guy called Dr. Roy J. Plunkett. There were Teflon products on the market by 1946, before nasa was even founded. Although teflon was used in the apollo project, it wasn't even have the first major scientific use for it, the Manhattan Project made major use of teflon in the uranium enrichment process.
