This Is The Apollo Lunar Module (LM). It Was Designed To Carry Two Pilots From Lunar Orbit To The Lunar

This is the Apollo Lunar Module (LM). It was designed to carry two pilots from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back. The LM is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Did you know that the Apollo guidance computers (AGC) had only 4 kilobytes of RAM? And only 32 kb of memory. Our smartphones have exponentially more processing power than the machines that literally took us to the moon. ---- #nationalairandspacemuseumsmithsonian #smithsonian #lunarmodule #moonlanding #washingtondc #usatrip #thesideksamericanadventure #throwback #funfacts #biggerthanitlooks (at National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwwTrgHgjn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l5fn92cjxacw

Missing my time in New York with my family. New York itself is a crazy yet exciting city to be in. Broadway shows are crazy expensive for the unaware. The Subways are surprisingly cheap. Protip: heed AirBnB host's words, "the subway platforms are ovens and the cars are fridges". I was genuinely sweating waiting for the subway, but freezing once aboard. Reminded me of Malaysia and our inability to set the a/c at reasonable temperatures. ----- #newyorkcity #nyc #thebigapple #thesideksamericanadventure #timessquare #throwback #tbt #citylights #citysights #people #streetphotography #nikon #d5300 (at Times Square, New York City) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn986vinQrS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gyeqrzh4n6lp
