Have you seen this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-21848104), someone wants a boat controlled by a Raspberry Pi to cross the Atlantic Ocean :o

The Raspberry Pi is a good bit more powerful than the computers used by the Apollo spacecraft, and those went all the way to the moon and back. :)

Yes but they did have a human in the capsule who cold reboot them when necessary and there was more than one of them ;)

I recently dismantled a 15 year old coffee grinder, and found a PIC microcontroller inside. That probably makes it more powerful that the Apollo modules.
If anybody ever has time on their hands, landing a coffee grinder on the moon should thus be a simple task. :D
