They have the space shuttle, the only thing faster than that was Apollo
but
that's old technology borrowed from the Germans.


The crappy V2 rockets that they rianed down on gay old England?

Well the Saturn V wasn't exactly advanced compared to a V2.


Sigh. the Saturn V was a Model A. The V2 was a model T. Both
designed in the days of slide rules, and poor metalurgy.

Hey - what's the matter with slide rules? I still use mine (fairly)
regularly.


Good for you, but .1% resistors and 1% capacitors are common these
days. I was using them 10 years ago.
