Could your iPhone control a moon landing? Absolutely.
It could juggle 120 million moon landings – all at the same time.
The Apollo 11 computer had a measly bit of memory and processing power compared to modern tech. Your iPhone? It’s got 1 million times more memory and is 100,000 times faster.
Remember that TI-84 calculator from high school? Even that old thing is 350 times faster than the Apollo Guidance Computer. Yep, your teenage math struggles involved tech way beyond what NASA used for moon landings.
So, how did NASA manage with such a low-powered hunk of metal? Pure genius and a whole lot of science, my friend. They squeezed every drop of brainpower and tech savvy into that tiny, underpowered box to pull off one of humanity’s greatest feats.
So while your iPhone plays Candy Crush and streams cat videos, just remember: it’s got the muscle to send a rocket to the moon.
