Just discovered that:
The Mercury spacecraft made the first successful American-manned flight equipped with heat-resistant windows manufactured by Corning.
Corning would go on to create the window glass for every manned American spacecraft – from Gemini and Apollo flights to the Space Shuttle – and would continue to produce glass for numerous applications within the space industry.
I’m so excited, I’m going to go make a “caNASArole”!
You’re welcome.
oh see… now we need to make this a thing.

Why don’t they use this when they advertise?? It’s the selling point to end all selling points!
