NASA's Moon Launch Called Off

I had it on one monitor.  The moon is fascinating.  Uncrewed Lunar trips are just as rare as crewed ones.  They did this in the 60s using an archaic 16-bit guidance system.

They are giving it another shot today.  Seems like a complicated process.

Talking of complicated, below is a description of what went into NASA's 64K(less processing power than a pacemaker) Apollo guidance computer.
