It's not about the little RAM of the Apollo computer. It's about science, engineering and courage. All the calculations were made on earth and sent to the CM.

Everyone will still care, what was only on the modules. Anyways, I believe my computer(a med-weak laptop) is stronger than late 60's NASA computers.

@mantas1111000

Yes Mantas1111000. But what computer used Columbus in 1492?

[mantas1111000]

None?

Unless you count brains too.

[dopje31857]

@mantas1111000

exactly. he used a lot of brains. Just like most of the nasa engineers.

[mantas1111000]

Everyone always uses brains. We couldn't see without them.

So you counted brains?

[dopje31857]

@mantas1111000

no mantas, hoaxers do not use brains.

Apollo did not need much computing capability.

most of the calculations and computing was done on earth.

[mantas1111000]

OK, let me refraze.

Everyone always uses brains. Exept hoaxers. They use brains only for their life support.

[dopje31857]

yep

[swampfoxx81]

just think....we went to the moon with the computer power of a ordinary calculator. just think what we could do now.

[RobertsDigital]

@swampfoxx81 you went to the moon too?

[garvess]

What year was that?

[swampfoxx81]

1969
