This thread is about spin-offs from the manned moon flight. The dialysis process referred to was developed in 2002. And we didn't have CAT scans in the 60s. And they didn't have much room for cardio-vascular conditioners on the moon trip.

So the implication that these things were developed for the moon missions are false. Some were developed for living in the International Space Station, which itself has no purpose, and now that it's built, will be abandoned.

Your post refers to inventions since 1976. How many moon missions were there after 76? Sure some things were a result of the moon mission. But you can't say they wouldn't have been invented without the moon program.
