I promised
you an entry about this documentary… So here it is!
Recently I
watched a documentary called "Moon Machines", that is about how men
built the necessary technology in order to travel to the moon. If we consider
the Apollo mission was about de 60's, then we should analyze the technology
that was used.
The Apollo Guidance Computer was the machine that provided guidance,
navigation and control of a spaceship. All this functionality was made with a
few MHz of processing and a few KB of memory.
Finally, what I’m saying is that if we have such powerful
machines, we should take advantage of this computing power… I don’t know, maybe
someday we will be capable to find the limits of the Universe.
I hope you
enjoyed reading this (or maybe you just said tl;dr… I don’t know). I do not
know when I will write my next entry, but it might be soon :)
