That's got to be pretty hard to beat.

A quote from the Apollo Program Manager in 1966 "... building four
or five prototypes consumed 60% of the country's production of
integrated circuits...".

Integrated circuits were a single, 3 input NOR gate which in 1963
became 2, 3 input NOR gates (Moores law). These were surface
mount packages on multilayer circuit boards in the Apollo guidance
computer. I wonder if they had toaster ovens.
