> …and has more computing power than the machines that sent humans to the moon. We’ve all read this comparison many times. Is there any reason to think of sending people to the moon as a difficult computational problem though? Conversely, just because relatively little computation was needed to send someone to the moon does that necessarily mean that more computational power is a necessary path to doing something we’d all agree is more impressive, e.g. sending someone to Mars?
