Recorded sources
0 sources for · 5 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tang was originally developed for NASA's space program?

No. Multiple reference works state that Tang was not developed by NASA: an encyclopedia says General Foods invented it, a Wikipedia article says NASA did not invent Tang, and a contracting book says it was launched commercially in the 1950s.
