We can't go the moon today, because of the money, Burke. Not because of the technology. I even said that in my post. And I'm not underrating the medicine. I'm just saying that it was nowhere near the level of today. A perfect example of that is an ACL reconstruction. I mean, your career as an athlete would basically have been over. I mean, in the last 1960's you had the first succesful heart transplants, but the patients would die a couple of weeks later. That's NOT what happens today.
And yes, you're right about the computers being a lot better today, but that only makes the achievement of going to the moon in 1969 more admirable, doesn't it?
