My granda said the old lady next door said when she heard it, "You would have thought they would have waited until it was a full moon."

The transistor was invented in 1947, the first handheld transistor radio was sold to the public during Christmas 1954. The integrated circuit was invented in 1958. Everything was state of the art of the time on Apollo.

Spare a thought for the poor camera person left on the moon recording the lift off with such accuracy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
