    I find it amusing that NASA's total computer processing power for the Apollo moon landing then is equal to a modern basic handheld calculator. :lol:

    To put it into perspective, the first commercial hard drive made by IBM in the 50s was the size of two modern refrigerators sitting side-by-side. Its total storage capacity? A whole whopping FIVE megabytes... for just a measly $50,000. :flushed:

    Their power usage for their space robots, probes, satellites and stations is also pretty neat, making us Earthlings all seem like a bunch of addicted power-consuming assholes :D

    Well played, space programs around the world!

    Story time! That one time NASA managed to work around a hard-coded mission-ending bug in Apollo 14's mission computer.
