Yeah, we would notice it, but that's not the point of re-running these kinds of experiments. Just look what humanity was able to do in the Space Race with "computers" less powerful than an ordinary standard wristwatch of today: going to the moon, surviving there and coming back. Today? If it were not for SpaceX, the US would not have a path to access to its own manned transfer capability. If we do not use abilities,…

The technology itself was quite advanced, just in other aspects than raw computing power.
