How Artemis SLS stacks up against the Saturn V moon rocket
Over Thanksgiving I had a chance to talk with Engineer who worked on capsule that concerned things that moved up & down, & side to side. Mechanical Engineer. One question I ask of him was how has technology changed since the first trip to the moon. At that time he was a youngster so answer came back, " I can get on my PC, log into Houston & get a complete read out of all incoming data." I wished him well & good luck with the mission & continued with the turkey & ham dinner.

Yes, very important, as any StarTrekie can affirm.
