    Going to the moon (and elsewhere) on slide rules.

    As a slide rule addict (and, by way of disclosure, an ordinary member of the Oughtred Society), I'm well aware of the slide rule's proud history in aerospace design and research. Now we know that it almost certainly wasn't all done with slide rules - log and trig tables, mechanical calculators...
