Wow ... I would love to get back there and see it now.  My Dad was one of the engineers on Wernher von Braun's team in the 50s.  Yes, I'm that old.  :crying:

Awesome..  :woohoo: .. My late father-in-law was a genuine rocket scientist as well, think he came here around '57 & was involved in the Gemini, Apollo & Space Lab projects. Said he wrote the computer program to fly Apollo to the Moon n back....only had 8mb to do it.   :huh:

That's really cool.  It's wild that our smart phones today could run circles around the computer that took us to the Moon and back. The changes in my lifetime have been really exciting.
