NASA invented wheels that never get punctured

No they fucking didn’t.

Wheels that don’t puncture have been around for centuries

We don’t use them because they are more shit than normal tyres for the majority of use cases.

Specific use cases, such as those faced by NASA may benefit from having such a feature, but to say they “invented” wheels that don’t puncture is an outright lie.

Who the fuck wrote this trash?

The marketing team for those over priced bike tires probably.

Why curse or get angry? The author got it wrong. You pointed it out. 👍 You also raised my blood pressure a smidge.

What does that have to do with it? Those were a different design. Sure, this invention shares a couple of features with past inventions but that doesn’t mean it’s the same invention.

Most puncture proof tires are too hard. A good tire is soft enough to have a large flat area where it touches the road (or some other shape, if the road is bumpy).

Inventing an OLED television isn’t inventing the television…
