Awesome to think that such a small thing likely has more computing power than was on the Apollo spacecraft. Imagine what those missions could have done with all the saved weight.

When my kids talk about SpaceX or Blue Origin, I tell them in our day they did it with stuff designed with slide rules, drawn with pencil on mylar, and fabricated by high school grads on manually controlled machine tools.

Yep. A lot more Tang and freeze dried ice cream.

There is a processor inside every uSD card that not only is more powerful than the Apollo spacecraft, it is more powerful than the System 370 mainframes they used on the ground to control the mission.

The cpu that handles memory on an SD card is typically a 100mhz 32bit ARM.

You can see the ARM controller at the upper right in this image... it's mounted as a COB or chip-on-board.
