For $100 and the Whirlpool washer and dryer, can you name the project in which Chrysler built Redstone rockets and was the first American in space? Hint: 1961. Bigger hint: it was Mercury. Chrysler also built boosters to power the first two Apollo spacecraft. So, there's history between the two, meaning a get-to-know-you lunch probably won't be in order now that Chrysler and NASA are beginning a three-year alliance to share advanced technologies, including robotics, radar, and materials engineering.
