I always thought velcro came about due to research in space. Sure love this game for its knowledge.

I had no idea it was invented that long ago! I seriously thought it was a fairly new item.

Luna Froggatt, I learned on Mysteries at the Museum show that although he invented it and got a patent wasn’t accepted by the fashion designers in its time. Only when Nasa had a need to secure items in space for the astronauts and used it, it finally took off. That’s why I like to watch the show Mysteries at the Museum with Don Wildman who makes it not boring to learn about history. 🥰

3 out of 4 lived too long ago for this marvelous modern invention. So interesting how he came up with the idea.

It makes so much sense!Burrs are amazing at attaching to things. The hooks can be seen with the naked eye. The human mind is wonderful...

Luna Froggatt, oh, he did. My former father in law was a design engineer who helped with the development of velcro (inner circle) and his estate is worth $3/4 of a billion. So, yes, very rich.

Luna Froggatt,
I used to do a lot of sewing. I made a bag for the back of my wheelchair, it either go on the back of my chair or underneath, because there were four straps. I could have it as a shoulder bag. I made wrist braces that were all cotton. These and other things had Velcro on them. My daughter started calling me the Velcro queen.

I have heard it was the Burdock flower/thistle that had the hook structure that inspired the invention.
