Hell, that amount will barely suffice for an "About" dialog box these days.

The so-called Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) used a real time operating system, which enabled astronauts to enter simple commands by typing in pairs of nouns and verbs, to control the spacecraft. It was more basic than the electronics in modern toasters that have computer controlled stop/start/defrost buttons. It had approximately 64Kbyte of memory and operated at 0.043MHz.-www.computerweekly.com/feature/Apollo-11-The-computers-that-put-man-on-the-moon
