No they fucking didn't.

Wheels that don't puncture have been around for centuries

We don't use them because they are more shit than normal tyres for the majority of use cases.

Specific use cases, such as those faced by NASA may benefit from having such a feature, but to say they "invented" wheels that don't puncture is an outright lie.

Who the fuck wrote this trash?

They didn't invent the concept of punctureless wheels, but they certainly invented a set a wheels that are punctureless
