Except it's an applies-to-oranges comparison to start with. The mathematics of space-travel is very simple - it's just calculus. You need to be accurate, but it's easy to quantify and well controlled. Which is why you can go to the moon with a decent graphics calculator, but you definitely can't have a self-driving car with much less then a modern supercomputer. |

We're not talking about calculating our way to the moon. We're talking about going to the moon.
The space program had much more than a graphing calculator. They had buildings full of people, systems, and realtime communication with the craft.
