  1. I was 6 months old and my mother said she watched it with me, but I'll have to take her word for it. :innocent: Dad was in the pub apparently. :D

  6. We had the same TV stylie at our school too, only the school Janitor used to wheel it in on a big trolley.. they switched it on and you then had wait for the TV to warm up before any picture, plus a twiddle with the aerial ..

  7. (
    Be some feat of time travel if it had more than the space shuttle . Theoretically, an IPhone could simultaneously land 120,000,000 lunar modules.

    Or by another measure the original space shuttle had 0.5 percent of the computing power of an XBox 360.

  14. It would have been quite a decision by NASA launch Columbia with less computing power than they have the lunar landing module.

  15. You could be right of course. You’ll have stars in your eyes :eyes:
