Revision as of 21:35, May 7, 2009
, 21:35, May 7, 2009→Teflon: explained, also reversion explained
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.

:Interesting point. Too bad your link to support this claim is broken.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:35, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
== Reversion explained ==
Too much editorializing and obscure details required reversion. A good lecture is straightforward and factual, hitting the key points. Editorialize or debate the obscure on the talk page, please.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 17:35, 7 May 2009 (EDT)
