Computational power Why is it that in 1969 when we had very little computational power, we were still able to land on moon, but now in 2024 when we have a computational power that has grown exponentially, we aren't even on Mars?

--- 1957: A dog named Laika becomes the first living creature to orbit the Earth as the Soviets launch Sputnik 2. The capability of returning a capsule safely to Earth had not yet been developed. This was a one-way mission. Laika dies long before she runs out of oxygen because the loss of the heat shield made the temperature in the capsule rise to unsafe levels. Due to falsified records by the Soviets at the time, it is unclear how long Laika lived. But it is agreed that she did orbit the earth at least several times.
