The lander in the Apollo mission was (a) smaller and lighter, (b) you have only 1/6 of the gravity on the moon and (c) you don't have atmosphere on the moon. That makes it much less complicated. Probably especially the "no atmosphere" part. You see these grid fins in this video? That controls that thing aerodynamicly. Maneuvering in air at high speed is very complex- maneuvering in a vacuum is very simple and predictable in comparison. And it is very weird that you mention the hand controller. Would you also say "Isn't it it interesting that it needs much computer power for a Tesla to drive autonomous from A to B, while we could use that 50 years ago with just pedals and a steering wheel?" Probably not. Neil Armstrong was a pilot, who landed the vehicle, that he was sitting in. These massive rocket boosters land entirely automatically. Of course you need computing power for that.

There were meanwhile 280 landings - the weird thing is that people don't realize that it is a regular thing.

Imbecile

If we had waited for the private sector to get into space, there would have been no Gemini missions, no Apollo missions, no Voyager missions, no Cassini, no Juno. Why? Because there would have been no profit in it.

Government space programmes landed on the moon 55 years ago. Let me know when the private sector catches up.
