Of course the other reason is that there was nothing to run it on.

@spacemagick@mastodon.social @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon@mastodon.social No, no, there's no meaningful material difference between life now and life 50 years ago. People back then all had microwave ovens, cars as safe and fuel efficient as we have now, and they all carried around portable phones with free long distance that also had more computing power than spacecraft of the era. There have been no meaningful medical, technological, or other advances. It's a pure, apples-to-apples situation.
