It's amazing how far we have come in such a short time. I still have a cut film 2"x3" Graflex bellows camera that I've actually used.

The pix from Mars via Curiosity are better than Neil could do with the tech available then.

In one lifetime, we've gone from woven ferrite core memory to DRAMs and SRAMs and cell phones with more computing power than the entire US had in the '60s.

Why? Because it has a secret. At high resolution you can see that Buzz is peering sideways out of his helmet to see if Neil is still taking pictures of him.
