The smartphone in your pocket has about 120 times more computing power than the average satellite, which has the equivalent of a 1984-era computer inside. \"You can go to Walmart and buy toys that work better than satellites did 20 years ago,\" said NASA physicist Chris Boshuizen. \"And your cellphone is really a $500 robot in your pocket that can't get around.
