Apollo 11's Vintage Tech: The Most Amazing Moon Landing Innovations

While the Apollo 11 landing was on the forefront of innovation in 1969, today its an exhibition of the amount could be fulfilled with so little.

The computing technology of the average cell far surpasses the combined processing force of the two spacecraft that got people to the moon and homesafely.

That doesn't make Apollo 11's mechanical accomplishments any less great, then again. The lunar module, for instance, never flew an unmanned test flight previously it was put through its paces — with space travelers inside — during Apollo 9. The hand-stitched, walkable spacesuits that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore on the moon when they stepped onto its face surprisingly 45 years ago this month were not utilized before lunar surface.
