Wie viel Rechenpower braucht man für die Reise zum Mond? 🌙

Gerade habe ich Frank O’Briens "The Apollo Guidance Computer“ beendet, und es ist eine Lektion in Demut. In den 60ern schufen Ingenieure mit den damaligen Mitteln ein System, dessen Architektur in Sachen Zuverlässigkeit bis heute Massstäbe setzt. Es zeigt: Wahrer Fortschritt liegt nicht in Gigahertz, sondern in technischer Klarheit.

👉 Empfehlenswert für alle Technik-Begeisterten!

#NASA reschedules the first crewed lunar landing since the #Apollo era for 2028, and slips in a test mission in 2027 that could put the #BlueOrigin lunar lander through its paces in low Earth orbit. https://www.geekwire.com/2026/nasa-overhauls-artemis-moon-program-blue-origin/ #Space #Artemis #BlueMoon #Moon

Woke up to a sad alert from #Apollo today. I really do appreciate #Reddit sometimes but today is not one of those days.
