Oh you wacky Internet
So tooling around the Internet today and saw a link to an article which purported to explain how the software for the Apollo 11 Moon landing program was created. But leave it to Internet tubes to screw that up and give me this message:
Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL
Which I guess leads to the conclusion: if you want to post LOLCATZ pictures and your buddies farting on Youtube, use Linux and MySQL. But, if you want to go to the FUCKING MOON, use computers with 2K of RAM and 1.024 Mhz processors.

Agreed!
Back in my day we calculated rocket trajectories with an abacus.

Oh yeah well back in my day we calculated nuclear bomb firing sequences with pebbles and rocks! I tell you getting a perfect implosion against the uranium core is tough to calculate when you can't split a pebble into its square root.
OH YEAH well back in my day we calculated probabilities using goat entrails and incantations.
I foresee nothing but disaster for the space program as we attempt to go to Mars using Windows 2020 or whatever it will be by then. They probably won't be able to validate the install from space, and then will have just 30 days to get there and back.
