"In 1970, Edgar F. Codd at IBM proposed the relational database model, which became the theoretical foundation for relational databases and has drastically influenced how data is stored and retrieved in nearly all business data management systems. That same year, Apollo 13's successful failure garnered worldwide attention, much like Codd's work, both pioneering explorations in their fields—space and databases."
