In addition to everything else mentioned here they spent a TON of money[1]. For example they spent what would be 3.6 billion 2016 dollars on Guidance and Navigation. If your current project could drop a few hundred million on QC I bet quality would go way up regardless of automated testing or not.

- kakali 10y agoI think your number includes design and building one of the first solid state computers.
- wwkeyboard 10y agoThe "few hundred million for quality control" number still stands. In addition they were able to draw on everyone from the people designing the transistors through to the programers to debug problems. Not something many modern projects can do.
