Fun facts about Gore-Tex manufacturer, W.L. Gore & Associates:
* Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and ‘Buzz’ Aldrin installed seismographic equipment on the Moon in 1969. It was connected to the lunar lander with a lightweight cable made by Gore.
* The first two Gore-Tex products sold were a joint sealant for industrial pipes and a pipe thread tape.
