Comments by "Biały" (@Bialy_1) on "How the Integrated Circuit Took Us to the Moon" video.
"They even have original Apollo hardware" and apparently super expensive military grade computers were available for free at the local junkyard... This video is showing the picture of Saturn 5 computer and its size, its job in comparison to the job of what computer of a moon lander woud need to do was simply trivial. For 50 years there was this talk that we are not going back to the Moon because there is no point, China anounced that they also are planing to land on the Moon and instantly the narrative changed to "we need to have another Moon mission and land there again(before China)". Why exactly Space-X rockets strugled so much for so long to land an empty rocket(no internal mass change to wory about)? AGC was doing that with not a single mistake of any kind and Space X rocket that was at least millions times faster(powerful) was not able to do it for so long and so many time even with the modern engine gimbals that are much more capable that the one avaible half century ago(not to mention that the landing space was perfectly flat and not full of some random huge rocks).

Not true, i can watch videos on YT where they are showing real working Apollo computers from that time and according to the story this super expensive, super high tech military grade computers were completly unprotected and unacounted by ayone so some random people were able to find them even on some South Africa yunkyards.

"All the chips in AGC were just identical gates, like metaphorical lego bricks you could use to build anything." yea right, anything that was not in need to make any significant calculations in real time. The Saturn V "computer" was this huge setup and was doing hardly any job in comparison to what AGC would need to do. Even sensors basic data processing would be to much for that computer in real time, not to mention calculating in real time trajectory corections and everything else that was claimed to be in official AGC specification. From wikipedia: Big lie(große Lüge)->a lie so colossal that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously." Scholars say that constant repetition in many different media is necessary for the success of the big lie technique, as is a psychological motivation for the audience to believe the extreme assertions. It is funy that even educated people with degree in IT can easly swallow all that amazing almost magical AGC capabilities that was aparently completly forgoten when Space X was trying to land an empty rocket on a specialy prepared landing spot(not a completely unknown and unprepared rocky surface). So how many year more before NASA will be ready to go back there(as it was announced suddenly when China announced its Moon program)?
