Just an interesting observation:
Currently there are "normal" phones that can perform about 8 MFLOPS (Million Floating Point Operations per Second)

To put this into perspective, Up till the time of the first moon landing in 1969, the fastest supercomputer in the world could run at 3 MFLOPS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercomputer
So, you probably have more power in your pocket than was used in launching Apollo 11...
