Outside politics - Apollo big spinoff was microchip.

LM digital computer was made by Fairchild semiconductors. From which Intel sprung and split in 1968.

Later Datapoint and Intel created the 4004 / 8008 / 8080 series circa 1970.

...

Also Neil Armstrong during his brief stint as NASA number 4 for aeronautics in 1970-71 got the LM digital computer flown on a F-8 Crusader - leading to the digital FBW revolution inthe 1980's.


So the PC, Intel, microship and digital FBW all are Apollo spinoff. Shame Cooper in Interstellar forget to tell Mrs Hanley about this.
