I was 13 years old and remember it like it was yesterday! President Kennedy would have been so proud.

If they had relied on Windows computers, they'd still be stuck on the moon. If they relied on Android, they'd have missed the moon entirely

I have heard the computers they did use for guidance only had 128k memory.
-
Less: the Apollo Guidance Computer had 4kb of RAM and 70KB of ROM. And a 2MHz CPU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer … https://history.nasa.gov/computers/Ch2-5.html …

My father worked on the space program Grumma and designed the test equipment for the landing radar for the lunar module. So proud.

I remember it well. This was when the US was great. Everyone was excited. Computer technology was just starting to take off.
