How did we have the technology to send people to the moon in 1969? How did 47 year old computers control the launch and maneuvers that were necessary? We sent people to the moon 47 years ago, and 47 years before that people were driving Model T's. It's just crazy

Shitton of manual computation.

see that flag moving in the wind?
that vacuum moon wind?
well guess what
Ryan Williams
Are you talking about how the flag is upright instead of just fallen over? Well that's because there was a horizontal pole going through the top of the flag to make it stay like that
Ethan Barnes
there are official videos where you actually see it moving like there's wind

Model Ts are pretty impressive, don't knock them.
Adam Williams
It's moving because of the rotational momentum imparted when it was plunged into the ground, and the lack of air resistance stopping it from swinging. It doesn't last for very long after it's planted though.

The 1960s were not a stone age.
The WW2 B-29 Stratofortress had remote controlled turrets.

Just because you are stupid now, does not mean that people were stupider 50 years ago.

Getting to the moon isn't hard. With the right understanding of orbital mechanics, you could get there based on a "That looks about right" approach.
Fortunately for Apollo 13, we had instruments to precisely determine position and velocity.
