Recognition at last for Tom Bacon, the scientist you've never heard of who helped put men on the moon
Briefly

"As long as you go on feeding hydrogen and oxygen into it, and you remove the water formed, it will go on generating power indefinitely and the astronauts drink the water."
"Without you, Tom, we wouldn't have gotten to the moon," President Nixon told Bacon, highlighting the crucial role of his fuel cell technology in the Apollo missions.
"Fuel cell technology was extremely important to the space programme, because as long as you can continuously supply the gases, you can keep producing electricity."
"Bacon's pioneering work is still a source of inspiration for scientists working on renewable energy solutions today."
