[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2658331, member: 5151"] Any data mission control got was already 28+ minutes old. If any alterations needed to be done, it would take 28+ minutes to see the data to tell you that an alteration needed to be done, 28+ minutes for your alteration to reach the craft, and 28+ minutes to see the data to verify whether or not that worked. I'd really like to see a pilot land on a carrier under such conditions. The big question should be... we put a man on the moon with slide rules and less electronic computing power than a modern cell phone... could we have done this with slide rules, too, if technology had not evolved to it's current state?
