It seems to me that there is an interesting lesson in this  .sig .

We've often heard things like `If we can send a man to the moon, why can't
we clean up the environment?'

Well, a considerable part of the computing power in today's automobiles
is dedicated to doing just that.  And it's clearly comparable to the
computing power available to Project Apollo.
