NASA creates many technologies, but occasionally it gets credit for something it only popularizes.
Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral was born #OTD in 1907. He got the idea for ✨Velcro✨ in 1941, after seeing prickly seeds stick to his dog’s fur during a walk in the Alps. 🧪

You know that Velcro was inspired by the burs of Arctium lappa, which George de Mestral found stuck to his coat & his dog’s fur. The bur has spines like crochet hooks that attach to passing animals (or engineers/inventors). 📷: Georgy Vinogradov CCBY4 #Asteraceae #epizoochory #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

El mestral se canaliza también por el valle del Ródano, provocado bajas presiones en el golfo de Génova. En el valle el mestral adquiere una gran intensidad en el curso bajo del río y su zona de influencia abarca todo el golfo de León y mar de Liguria

OKAY SO
Star Trek fans probably know "Carbon Creek," the Enterprise episode about a group of Vulcans crash-landing on 1950s Earth.
Paul Boehmer played the Vulcan Mestral in that episode, as well as the Borg One on Voyager, and Vornar on DS9.
And he narrated "Where the God-Knives Tread"!!! 😭
