The autoparts system you are talking about is implemented on an advanced database. Private industry invested to develop those, not government. Private industry has invested 10X more than NASA to develop computer business hardware and software systems.

NASA may have given them an early boost but that boost ended 40 years ago.

The engineering information management systems were given a huge boost by NASA during the Apollo project. They had to do that. There was no other way to manage that much money, that many state of the art parts, in that short of a time period. They made it happen. They proved it worked. That’s historical fact.

Yes, all this may have happened elsewhere overtime. It did happen then and there.

And, maned spaceflight beyond Earth's gravity ended 40 years ago. Except to service the Hubble Space Telescope, Mankind has not been higher than low Earth orbit in the last 40 years.
