Space: Did You Know That #10

[Robert Bruce]

Did You Know:

The Apollo computers had less processing power than a cellphone. But the computer was designed as a navigational tool and not to do the multi-task operating we take for granted that a standard PC or laptop at work or home needs to do to keep us satisfied.

The computers on the LM and CM were programmed only to be a guidance/navigational tool. And they performed the job despite the many alarms that an abundance of data processing caused.

@Robert, are there any live webcams working from space?

The only webcam I know of that streams content from space on a regular basis is on the ISS.
