FACT: In 1969 computer chips had not been invented. The maximum computer memory was 256k, and this was housed in a large air conditioned building. In 2000 a top of the range computer requires at least 64 Mb of memory to run a simulated Moon landing, and that does not include the memory required to take off again once landed. The computer on board Apollo 11 had 32k memory.
Yep, you've convinced me with that one. From now on, anyone that tries to tell me that George Lucas faked the moon landings with CGI is going to get laughed at by me. Phew, that was close.
