    On Friday, it was the fifty year anniversary of the first fuel cell deployment. In 1965, Gemini 5 created history using fuel cells on a manned spacecraft. This launched the industry for commercial fuel cells.
    Morry Markowitz, President of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA) said in a press release:

    Today we are celebrating fifty years of fuel cell deployment, beginning in 1965 with the Gemini 5, the first deployment of fuel cells in a manned flight, achieving the first crucial steps that helped America to land a man on the Moon. This successful historic mission led to the use of fuel cells on all subsequent American manned space missions throughout the Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs.
    The initial support of NASA provided the catalyst needed to launch the commercial fuel cell industry. Fuel cell and hydrogen technology has evolved and improved exponentially since then, moving from the rarity of space travel to everyday power for passenger vehicles, forklifts, utilities, businesses, homes, and more.
    Today more than 100,000 fuel cell systems generate clean power for people worldwide, a lasting dividend of America’s investment in space.
