OK I'll accept that a lot was developed by the Apollo program but this is
not what I think of when I think of NEW technology.

I think it comes down to what each of us understands "all
the technology were in place" to mean. I took it to be
roughly equivalent to the technology being mature. I gather
you meant something between that and brandnew stuff.
