Hey George Tower, beleive what you want matey.
All I'm saying is that going up into orbit around the earth is one thing but travelling through space, orbiting around a piece of rock 300'000 km away, dropping a landing craft on the surface, having it land safely and then take off again (by means of explosives may I remind you) to go back and dock perfectly (under no power) with the orbiting station, then slingshotting back to earth (another 300'000 km away) and finally executing a perfect re-entry to allow for a sea (as opposed to land) ditching. And all that with not serious computing power??
But hey, go on thinking what you want.

I suppose you still believe that on 9-11 the pentagon was hit by a 757, right? Ummm, thought so...

Anyway, this is not the forum for this sort of thing. Sorry for the deviation.

Cheers,

Frenchy
