so that's how they flew a golf cart to the moon.........Radio Shack~!!!

The bloated GUI software you use today is only possible because of massive processing power enabled by millions upon millions of microminiature transistors called Large Scale Integration semiconductors. Computing isn't new; WWII battleships had the electromechanical analog computer,Mark 37, for their fire control systems. Two years before the Apollo missions made their first landing, Texas Instruments created hand held calculators based on transistors. The circuitry in those calculators is interrupt driven and mimics what is in today's laptops and cell phones. By 1973 LSI innovations enabled calculators that are basically what you see today. As for the moon landings:

The Apollo Command Module and the Lunar Module each had a computer (with different software, but the same design) called the Primary Guidance, Navigation, and Control System (PGNCS, pronounced "pings"). The LM also had a computer which was a part of the Abort Guidance System, to give a backup if the PGNCS failed during the landing.
"Ground systems backed up the CM computer and its associated guidance system so that if the CM system failed, the spacecraft could be guided manually based on data transmitted from the ground," NASA stated. "If contact with the ground were lost, the CM system had autonomous return capability."

You think like a child, lacking any understanding - that makes flat earth believable, eh?

nothing you say allows for men to fly through the thermosphere (2000 degrees) or the Van Allen Radiation Belt or allows for men to operate without air conditioned space suits or for that matter how did the astronauts not "explode" when their pressurized suits were exposed to the "vacuum" of space ....there are 10,000 reasons why men have never left Earths atmosphere, least of which is computing power https://files.catbox.moe/tumkkr.jpg
