#39, Sodak: NASA didn’t invent velcro. George de Mestral, a Swiss mountaineer and inventor, came up with the idea after taking his dog for a walk among some weeds. Upon seeing the way some burrs were stuck in the dog’s fur and his own socks, he started experimenting and voila! Velcro was born… by a private citizen… in the private sector… without government funding.
