So because you believe that one item on the list is somehow in error, all the others are similarly dismissed?

A quote from the documentation I gave - which you must not have read:
“LASIK technology comes from the 1980s efforts for autonomous rendezvous and docking of space vehicles to service satellites. Eventually a range and velocity imaging LADAR was demonstrated that could be used for docking spacecraft. LADAR was also used in military and NASA-sponsored research for applications in strategic target tracking and weapons firing control. This technology is used by Eye surgeons to track eye movements at a rate of 4,000 times per second while reshaping the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, using a laser.”

As you can see this refers to the TECHNOLOGY, not the PROCEDURE which are two different things.

Doctors took the technology and created a procedure. Without the tech, no procedure no LASIK

So that’s another miss.

As for all the others ...

Nah, but I don’t have time to go through all your list.

LASIK began before LADAR.

To claim now that the Apollo mission gave us LASIK is just wishfully idealizing a fantasy to make it sound better.

Nor can you say the technologies would never have existed if we hadn’t had the Apollo mission. We simply do not know alternative futures.

It’s like the books about the Irish saving civilization.
