It’s funny how people shit on that first handful of Astronauts being just there to look good and be “oh, we put a man into space” and how many of the first capsules were just glorified computers that ran themselves. But these guys were test pilots and brilliant as well. It’s like the book title says “The right stuff.” Those first four or five batches of Astronauts up into Apollo were all literally guys that could land a fucking washing machine if you got it to fly both my piloting skill and knowing physics.

Absolutely NO computer ran itself in the 60s, what the fuck are those people drinking? Pond water?

The shittiest first-generation smartphones had more processing power than anything NASA used for the Apollo missions.
