Title: Buzz Aldrin on the Moon
Full Description: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, walks on the surface of the Moon near the leg of the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" during the Apollo 11 exravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the Lunar Module (LM) "Eagle" to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar orbit.

Are you serious?
Windows programmed in "BASIC"?
So, what kind of basic? GW BASIC?
Hahahhahhahha!!!!
Most of the low level components and, in particular drivers, are still programmed in Assembly or/and in C !
Some high level component may be programmed in high level language such as C#.
But never in BASIC and even in VB. Net!
Albert Einstein was able to split the atom without a computer!
Maybe there will be gone on the moon, or maybe not, but what you wrote makes no sense at all.

With the Apollo mission innovative technology was used which helped pave the way for the future . From the on-board computers to the source of energy to power the unit (which consisted of fuel cells )experts tried to innovate in their quest to maximize space saving while maximizing output . While elements such as the fuel cells didn't have the level of efficiency of fuel cells subsequently developed they did oblige further research on the matter in the quest to improve the operational performance of technology which then was still in its infancy.

An interesting article dwelling on fuel cells is to uncover in a 1992 science supplement to encyclopedia Brittanica titled "Science and the future" starting on page 217
