>only 2kb of total computer power was needed onboard for the whole mission.

 

i began writing code in 1969, and we were each allocated 16k of RAM on a timeshared IBM 360/70.

with that amt of RAM, we wrote predecessors of most of the early video games, using IBM TurboAssembler.

and with 64k of RAM, the professor wrote a chess program that would whip your ass.

the mathematical computations to fly a spacecraft to the moon and back can be done on an early HP programmable calculator.

the reason this was possible is that it was decades before bill gates and bloatware came along, to drive PC sales.
