Apollo Guidance

Block I Apollo Guidance Computer Replica:

Abstract

This report describes my successful project to build a working reproduction of the 1964 prototype for the Block I Apollo Guidance Computer. The AGC is the flight computer for the Apollo moon landings, with one unit in the command module and one in the LEM.

I built it in my basement. It took me 4 years.

If you like, you can build one too. It will take you less time, and yours will be better than mine.

Next stop, the Sea of Tranquility.

Manuel has followed up on the “unsecured webcams” meme and has a personal tale of righteous, mighty battle in the service of, um… Well, the morality is complicated.
