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.
