You have more computing power in your smart phone than ALL of NASA had when they sent the guys to the moon. Amazing where technology has taken us.

No, never did that, but now that you're making me think back I do remember coding Fortran and Cobol on punch cards...

I had forgotten about 80 column IBM punch cards. I did a little punch card inputting in the late 60s in the military.

Exponentially more computing power in your smart phone than what NASA had around for the Apollo 11 mission actually. The real genius however was the software NASA was writing at the time when memory, storage and processing power were at such a premium. What NASA had eventually developed for the Apollo Guidance Computer, the design ended up being so complex that had they been aware how tall an order it was they likely would have never attempted it.
