I was not talking about that. What I meant was going to the moon or space flight had never been done before. Virtually all of it was engineered and build from point zero.
No, I am not wrong.
Uh, I think Buck Rogers did it a few decades earlier.
Of course you are wrong.
Building a hybrid car is very technical, uses lots of new technology and engineering. But it still is just a modification and extension of those who invented engines, vehicles, etc.
The Apollo program was certainly the same, NOT a start from zero.
