I think it's simply amazing that the moon missions could be accomplished in that era. We're talking some primitive computers both at Ground Control and especially onboard the spacecraft.
Now we play around in low Earth orbit; only unmanned missions are planned for the future.
We haven't even been back to the Moon for thirty years! </rant>
