Was a lad in my families duplex on first street in Manistee. I remember my dad letting me call the operator and asking for the moon. ( old guys, remember when we had to first call the operator for long distance?)

Went to the air and space museum earlier this year. That shit looked antiquated. A chevy cruise seems better put together.

Can you imagine how that discussion went?

"We're going to strap you in this tin can that's controlled by an adding machine. Then we'll put that on top of a giant bomb....and send you to the moon.
Sound good?"

There's a beauty in that. Function over form. In our computer/digital age, it is amazing to think how good ol' human brain power made that happen.
