less computing power than an iPhone
Uh. Less computing power than the clock on my car dashboard. The apollo 15 LM landed in a valley with high mountains all around. The flight control system had a terrain model with five points.
Quite recently a young manager at the aerospace company where I worked made a stupid quip about the lunar missions being hoaxed. I suspect he just likes repeat stupid stuff he has heard but these things get compounded from generation to generation.
