Bull****. The internet would have, and did, evolve with or without the
existence of NASA. It's not surprising that their PR Dept. tries to
lay claim to makiing it all possible - a typical bureaucratic self
congratulatory agrandizement tactic while trying to justify its
existence. Raison d'être!
perhaps you need to read your history a bit more.
computer technology (such as that used on the internet) was directly
descended from research projects at AT&T and NASA.

If NASA had not existed, and we had NOT gone to the moon, we would still be
using older style modems and probably just getting to the TRS-80 Model 1
about now.
