Because the Amish disdain for technology is relative. Since smartphones came along, payphones seem quaint in comparison, opening them up for their technological “Amish phase.” Much like how Amish have no issues using bicycles or buggies since the car came along.

This is really cool, but it feels kind of insulting to call this equivalent to landing people on the moon in 1969. To bring humans to the moon and back alive and healthy, with 1960s computer tech, seems a much more significant feat. Plus the huge risk that astronauts took, made very real by preceding and subsequent deaths and close-calls. Sounds like this will be an important accomplishment and undoubtedly technically difficult, and the speed record part is particularly cool. Howevert it’s ultimately still an unmanned probe, which seems incomparable to a manned mission imo.
