I think this analysis is misguided, in many ways defining the necessary technology as what we do today, and comparing Apollo program technology with that standard. It's lost in the modern perspective, seeing the world through our egocentric/ethnocentric lens. There are other technologies and other ways to do things. Almost every achievement in human history has been accomplished without these technologies.
