   Citing AI as evidence for anything is an immediate fail. Try again.

   An an army of engineers and scientists armed with slide rules. Remember,   
   every single maneouvre they made had to be checked and rechecked with   
   ground control.

   We have sent robot probes to just about every corner of the (planetary   
   part of the) Solar System. We have rovers on Mars, and the ESA even put a   
   lander on Titan. We have done rendezvous with comets and asteroids, using   
   low-energy multiple-slingshot orbits requiring only modest launch   
   velocities, that could not have been computed in any reasonable time with   
   the computers of the Apollo era.   
      
   The technology has improved vastly since that time. What has not improved   
   is the tolerance of the human body to microgravity and radiation.

   Yeah, you certainly didn’t get anything useful out of it ...
