From Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience: The Apollo guidance computer: Hardware

MIT's original design called for just 4K words of fixed memory and 256 words of erasable (at the time, two computers for redundancy were still under consideration). By June 1963, the figures had grown to 10K of fixed and 1K of erasable. The next jump was to 12K of fixed, with MIT still insisting that the memory requirement for an autonomous lunar mission could be kept under 16K! Fixed memory leapt to 24K and then finally to 36K words, and erasable memory had a final configuration of 2K words

What are the advantages of quantum computing compared to classical computing?

Quantum computing offers advantages over classical computing in terms of speed and processing power. Quantum computers can perform complex calculations much faster due to their ability to process multiple possibilities simultaneously. Additionally, quantum computers have the potential to solve problems that are currently infeasible for classical computers, such as breaking encryption codes and simulating complex systems.

'why is a person lighter on the moon then on land'?

Because your weight depends on the mass of whatever other body is near you, and your distance from it. The moon has much less mass than the earth has, so the force between you and the moon when you're on it is much less than the force between you and the earth when you're on it.
