Interesting: the entry for the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) indicates it used integrated circuits—I had remembered hearing it used RTL (resistor-transistor logic).
It turns out both are true [1]. The "integrated circuits" were sort of "flat-packs" of RTL circuits. I had forgotten that early IC's were not quite what we envision today. Regardless I suppose ICs were RTL before they were TTL (before they were CMOS, etc.).
