而事实上，由于太空竞赛的缘故，美国政府投入巨资到固态物理和电子工程领域，结果不仅仅是尼尔·阿姆斯特朗1969年登月成功，同时还催生了苹果公司于1976年推出的第一台苹果电脑，以及5年之后IBM个人电脑的诞生。
No, what happened is that, largely as a result of the space race, the United States government poured lots of money into R&D for solid-state physics and electronics engineering. The resulting breakthroughs not only got Neil Armstrong to the moon in 1969, but also made it possible for Apple to introduce the first Mac in 1976 and IBM to debut the first PC five years later.
