66 years ago the LGP-30 was released. It had 4k of magnetic drum memory. No random access memory. It cost $47,000 and was one of the first personal computers (it beat the better known PDP-1 of spacewar fame to market by three years).

Indeed. If we focus only on space exploration then we seem to have made no progress in the last 66 years.

But actually we just grinded another branch of the tech tree.
