[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tbh, I think it was more amazing to land on the moon in 1969 prior to computers (as we know them today) and only using slide rulers, paper & pencil, etc to calculate the thousands of data points needed to not only launch a space ship, but people on board, land on the moon, and return.[/quote] To be fair, they did have IBM System/360 with Fortran. I believe it was mainly for orbital calculations and simple (by today's standards) numerical simulations. Designs and modeling would have been mostly analog. That's why Artemis isn't all that exciting to me. We did it once, and then deleted or lost practically everything. I expect the same to happen with Artemis. The government will lose interest, and "reuse the tapes."[/quote]
