The Soft Pitch

I’m not a Trek fan at all, but went with my wife who is and the new Star Trek movie was excellent…go see it.

Can’t help but think about how much technology that goes into movie making today and how technology impacts space exploration. Boy has  it changed in my adult life…There were no computers, cell phones, cameras, PDA’s, internet, etc…hell I remember when the first color TV’s came out…Bonanza was the 1st color show I think.

One thing about technology it has had a tremendous impact on the space race and getting to the Moon. Did u know we have been involved in the space race since the begining too? Yep, the Avnet’s sold connectors and also tested the equipment for NASA (we have one instrument in our lobby museum)…kind of cool we have been involved so long. Looks like we will for a long time…maybe we will have something to do with “beaming someone up” for the first time. If you would like to know more about our efforts here conatct me.
