A bit of research quickly shows that the first "personal computer" was the Apollo Guidance Computer.

There is a simulator on the web.

The source code is on Github.

it was sarcasm, my friend. It's funny to see how some people can't understand how it's possible to do such important and epic things without iphones  Grin

Space navigation is celestial mechanics formulas and data points ran through a program, a lot of the old Fortran code is still being used.
