After 47 years the improved version of the Apollo Command Module is almost ready.

Amazing how time flies.

Yes, but think of the processor speed it has now.

And modern communications, too.

Apollo Command Module Unified S-Band Transponder (manufactured by Motorola, Inc., Military Electronics Division, Scottsdale, Ariz.)

It's possible that my fingerprints may (figuratively) be on this piece of equipment somewhere. I was there from 1967 through 1988.

Regardless of Flimco, I believe we really went to the moon.

"Yes, but think of the processor speed it has now."

That's because the technological effort put into the virtual reality of the video gaming industry far outstrips the effort to explore the reality of our universe.

At least we have our priorities.
