    Well, for starters, this was the UI, the Dispay Keyboard or DSKY. They didn’t waste a lot of computing power on graphics, or anything else. This specific one is from the Apollo 13 command module, but the LMs used identical units, plus a couple of additional condition lights.

    Source code for the Apollo 11 guidance computer is now on Github, if anyone’s interested: [https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11](https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11)

    Didn’t Neil need to take manual control because the computer with it’s 4KB of RAM failed?

    Your setup feels slow because modern software is trash and takes advantage of modern hardware in the wrong way. Fast hardware is an excuse to make slow programs.

    How many gigs of ram is the brains of thousands of ivy league nerds worth? And not those piece of shit avocado ivy league nerds from the 2000s; 1940s and 1950s ivy league nerds. Back when mfs actually learned shit

    They sure weren’t running a web browser though

  10. Nasa landed on the moon using 4kb of RAM: success!

    Me landing in a random space flight sim using 64GB of RAM: BOOOOM!

    I need to download more RAM /s

    So can my 32GB ram and 8 core with hyperthreading cpu and 3080 gpu land on Pluto?? And yes, Pluto’s a fuckin planet bitch!

  12. Wow… We’re back to posting 2011 memes from ifunny?

  13. should explain cpu clock speed rather than ram size

  14. DynamicHunter

    Alright now put windows 95 and steam on that and tell me it’s not too slow

    Okay, but have you watched the footage? 420p, 30 fps AT BEST, and you call that Ray tracing? Pffft…

  16. ZakWardy

    Yeah but they’re not trying to run Cyberpunk 2077 on max

    They used experienced pilots and manual control

    Very little computer stuff was used for that, if any at all.

    Im not sure but i assume the compters they had were used for communication, measurements and such.
