You forgot to add a raspberry pi for the on-board computer. Even though, that would probably be way more powerful than the on-board computer they used, haha
Where you need to be pointed, how fast you're going relative to something else, how long your burn needs to be, and when it needs to be. You don't need much "computer" to figure that out.
You can totally navigate space with just a pencil, paper, a slide rule, and a sextant. Like some kinda

There was a sextant on the early orbital and the lunar missions.
Buzz aldrin wrote a paper on navigating in space using a sextant and paper. If I remember right, the analog tools were brought along in case the computers failed, as the return capsules needed a specific reentry angle and velocity, or they’d either burn up in the atmosphere or bounce off into space.
Watched an interesting video recently about the computer used in the Apollo lunar missions. Of course even basic processors now are more powerful, but it's still impressive how rock-solid stable the Apollo computers were.
OP wouldn’t need it because their point is to say that the lander was just made from household items and staged to look like it was on the moon. To them, there’s nothing functional in that photo.
Bro’s playing ksp in real life
Flat earth chronicles? You're gonna need more of E to make hats.
The factory must grow.
What about the Blackjack and hookers? In fact, forget the lunar lander and the Blackjack!
Sure. And the next project a sub only from plastic and carbon fiber.
My team recently finished the PDR for an astroid lander, this picture is surprisingly accurate.
This reminds me of an old screenshot of mine:
Is ot controlled by a controller?
