Light Years Ahead | The 1969 Apollo Guidance Computer 

DITTO - and I even slowed it down at a point to get all the info. - Some good questions from the (very select) audience.

I knew absolutely nothing about the subject, but I enjoyed this so much I searched and found a couple of other things on this topic to watch.

After reading your comment I wondered if it was really worth it, here I am 1h20m later confirming that it is.

he talks like he's explaining it to a kindergarted class

@@aussieaeromodeler His doing so was a good thing, since I knew absolutely nothing about this before watching him. My interests usually reside in the historical or political realms, I've read some books and watched the standard science documentaries that are generally produced for public consumption, like Cosmos and A Brief History of Time. But this was quite different and very new to me.

I admire his conviction also. I have Asperger's and can tell another, he is making an epic effort. My hat is off to him. I took drama to try to get more confidence, after several stage appearances I still could not have presented this. [ and I'm a 53 year old space geek who knew all the dates, Shepard, Gagarin, Tereshkova et al ] I still feel a little of his nerves, bless him. Passion will out ;-)

yeah but he had the wrong slide up while he discussed core magnetic memory

No narrator talking to you as if your a child. With bright colors and music.

When I noted the length of the video I thought to myself, oh well I will just watch until I'm bored. I watched the entire video, fascinating!! The presenter did a brilliant job keeping it a personal and interesting and, that would satisfy a surprisingly wide range of audience expertise.

@Jonny Mosquito Strawman at Large Aww bless, you don't understand science in the slightest.

As a nasa programmer could you help me remove “one of truth’s protective layers”?

Thank you for all the work you did

I worked for IBM '68-'98. I parlayed USAF electronics training and experience into a 30 year career digging through dumps, debugging OSs and even writing a bit OS2 Warp. First system I dealt with had 8K of RAM, no disks and punch cards. Caveman Computing made of twigs and small stones.

Isn't there a rather curious gap in careful tests between Apollo 10 and 11? Where are the expected attempts to land an unmanned LEM? And then try returning one? Those tests would seem to be necessary. To bolster the needed confidence before committing to a manned mission.

My dad told us that we would tell our children and grandchildren about this moment. Unfortunately, my dad didn’t remember saying this.

@@mitchellbarnow1709 Being in the UK I was 10 at the time my parents woke me up at four in the morning to watch the first steps out of the lander. It is something even at 61 years of age as if it was yesterday.

He certainly loves his subject. It's rare that one sees a millennial with such reverence for history!

I never imagine someone of my own generstion saying such a rubbish phrase. Only social network millennials...

@@mitchellbarnow1709 Maybe you could be interested in a testimony from a boy exactly ten years old like yourself -- however watching on TV in Brazil. I was watching on the American eagle arriving to the surface of the moon with my mother. My mother (who was a religious woman with college degree) was truly amazed. In a very emotional moment (when Armstrong first set foot upon the moon) she stood on her knees and began to pray. I felt it totally improper and amazed by the scene asked her why she was praying. She answered me that she was praying for the men. I asked again "why"? And she complemented saying "I am praying for the men because from now onwards only the men will be totally responsible for their own fate."

Ok ChatGPT guy 😂

@@papalegba6796 actually I do use chatGPT to help with coding and system admin work, but, no, not with a #$#@$ YT comment. Was just being nice and I appreciate the work he put into his presentation.

That's an amazing story and extremely jealous! Amazing!

This is absolutely right. While I'm envious of Mike's getting to meet Gene in person, I've enjoyed reading the book Gene Authored: Failure is not an Option. If you are into the moon missions stories, this is a must read. He details this scenario quite well and helps to tell the mission control side of the story.

Did you ask him why the 1202 alarm did not occur during testing. Dont matter anyway because nobody walked on the moon.

Good question Robert, I'm not at all knowledgeable about computers or rocket engineering, but I still got the gist of this talk and found it entertaining. To be honest I just recently stumbled onto this youtube motherload of people explaining all kinds of aerospace technology, and have been binge watching. This is the third one today I've watched regarding the early computers NASA used. I usually watch the history documentaries, love the stuff Yale Courses posts, always liked watching stuff on the universe like Sagan's Cosmos, and Hawkins, Brief History of Time, and every now and then something on technology made for the general public. But I too couldn't help but notice that these always get fewer views than those far fetched conspiracy or new age mystical woo woo posts, and this all too popular ancient aliens type nonsense is anathema to someone who loves history. I figure at the rate were going one day the movie Idiocracy is going to be a documentary about modern intellectual development. After all so many highly educated people at a UN conference to save the planet, as well as many university students signed a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide. Needless to say I don't feel too optimistic about them fixing the place up any time soon. :)

Yeah I have an RTX 3070 and Cyberpunk still scares it

Then there can only be sensible one conclusion: What's going on in your GPU's calculation of Cyberpunk's graphics is orders of magnitude more than what's going on in the AGC's calculations for the moon missions. Which isn't a dismissive handwaving of your comment or the moon missions, quite the opposite: It's a plea for others not to dismiss what games are doing in terms of the technology powering them. It just shows the advanced math going on in modern gaming, and how something as profound in human advancement as going to the moon isn't necessarily more complicated in computing power requirements than a piece of entertainment.

Thanks Keith!

@peter stimpson But then you will have to switch it on in a hurry and you will not know for sure it works correctly. Abort is very time critical.

@peter stimpson Problem is, problem was somewhere else. It was not radar constantly sending "I hear nothing" message. It was mismatch of frequency phase between radar position detection circuits and computer interface. Because of that phase difference radar was constantly signalizing that it moves +/- some small angle. This signals caused a lot of interrupts (or better stealed cycles) in AGC.

I had always heard that Armstrong made the conscience decision to leave the rendezvous radar on in case of abort.

Beautifully presented 🎁

The real modules cannot be found anywhere. Maybe we should ask Trump.

@@John-wd5cb The real computers were in the Lunar Module -- half of which got left on the Moon, and half of which is either in orbit around the Sun or crashed back onto the Lunar surface after being separated from the Command/Service Module.

Pure gibberish, all the Apollo space programs were faked.

Robert Wills is a CIRCUS CLOWN!!!!!! NASA'S APOLLO MOON LANDER NEVER "ORBITED OR LANDED ON THE MOON," PERIOD. The Poorly Designed Moon Lander was incapable of A CONTROLLED LANDING, ON TOP OF ANY SURFACE (including the NASA Space test grounds here on Earth) without CRASHING AND BURNING!! Neil Armstrong was nearly killed in the FAILED TESTING EXERCISES OF THIS CRAFT. His "rocket ejector seat with parachute" saved his life. The computer software of the late 1960's had less than 1,000th the sophistication and computational power of what we today have in our PERSONAL CELL PHONES. THE MOON LANDINGS WERE "FAKED." We could NOT LAND ON THE MOON in 1969. And today we still can’t fly 250,000 miles to the Moon, through the Van Allen Radiation Belts, and return to Earth. This is why we haven’t heard of a NASA scheduled “return flight to the Moon” in over 50 years - because the technology never existed. The Astronauts would need LEAD SHIELDING FOUR FEET THICK to protect against imminent death. For NASA to claim that using "tin foil shielding" in 1969 provided sufficient radiation protection for human life, while flying to the Moon and back, is AN INSULT TO MY INTELLIGENCE!!!! A current RU-vid Video about NASA's recent space development project named "ORION" (cancelled by President Obama) is very telling. On this video, NASA space craft design engineer "Bill Smith" ADMITS that the severe radiation problem caused by the Van Allen Radiation Belts prevents safely sending humans to the Moon - until a solution can be found. Supposedly, NASA already SOLVED this radiation problem back in 1969????? Listen to Neil Armstrong's supposed "live audio recordings" of his lunar landing craft touching down of the Moon's surface. I noticed there is virtually ZERO background noise inside the landing craft as the descent rockets are being fired. In "real life" the landing descent rockets would have produced a DEAFENING NOISE that would have "DROWNED-OUT" much of Neil Armstrong's recorded voice. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. Can you spell the word F-R-A-U-D!!!!!

@@FatManDoubleZero It's actually very simple. The USSR would have called out the USA as hoaxers if the USA had NOT pulled this off, especially since the USSR had orbited the first human being in all of history in 1961. The USSR"s pride would not have let the USA off the hook on a faked moon landing, let alone SIX moon landings through 1972. Why would the USSR congratulate the USA on such accomplishments? Surely, the entire USSR were most likely smarter than you and I! The USSR sent their congratulations to the USA. if the USA faked it, WOW, congratulations would be in order regardless of whether the USA went to the moon or not!

and how would that computer know where the spacecraft aktually is ??? it can not calculate anything without getting actual data. in the vid this clown is talking that the astronauts did activate it "just at the right moment" - but thats nonsense because when they are flying with such a speed they would have needed the right mikrosecond to press the button... so - this computer is just another proof of the moonlanding fake..

If you're interested in the electronics of the AGC, have a look at CuriousMarc's channel. He has a whole series of videos on restoring various Apollo electronics including the AGC.

Wouldn't it be amazing if they could actually set up simulated inputs and operate one of the few survivors of the 100-200 units manufactured? Oh, that's right, these are all non-repeatable experiments crafted to support a false narrative. I don't know how much space exploration has occurred, but I do know most of what NASA tells us is FAKE.

Yes it's very unusual isn't it! When the programmers were developing the code, they used a special device called a "Core Rope Simulator". This pretended to be the fixed memory (ie it behaved the same electrically), but the programmers could upload new programs to it to test. When it came to producing the final fixed memory, as I said in my talk this was woven together using wires (see 10:00 in the video). In the factory there was a machine which had the final machine code loaded into it as data. The machine would tell the textile worker which ring to wire through next based on the machine code, and he or she would thread the wire. The machine-assistance helped them get the correct final result, but ultimately it took a lot of human skill and dexterity to thread the wire.

We have a bit of this type of memory sitting in our school's CS department, it's really incredible to see how tiny the weave is.

Did you use Erlang?

@@partypoet2012 You used to be able to buy disposable cameras with no ability to adjust the frame, shutter or lens and then take them to be developed. Same with a Polaroid.

@@jwadaow Certainly did.

Thanks Tim, I'm glad you enjoyed the online version I gave more recently. Yes, what they achieved with such limited computing power is very impressive. It's why phrases like "There's more computing power in your wristwatch than on Apollo" annoy me, because they miss the point. The AGC had an amazing amount of power, ingenuity and good design; they just achieved that with remarkably few transistors!

@@robertwills8051 Cherished over-simplifications always end up that way. I want to ask you how timesharing was managed for the 7 job stack, but instead will go dig through the github code and see if it is timers in an interrupt, a giant loop, or what! It is probably possible to emulate the entire Apollo computer in software running on something like an old 8-bit MOS 6502, but it would not have all the redundancy, IO, and other features that make such an emulation nearly meaningless. I know you have to have seen them, but if you have not see what RU-vidr 'curious marc' and his team of spacegeeks have been doing you are missing out on something truly special! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2KSahAoOLdU.html

Robert this is enlightening in every sense of the word ! Thank you , and if i may say,we all would like to hear more such great presentations from you!

Indeed, some of the old-time engineering achievements really are immensely impressive. The AGC is one such astonishing feat, and learning more about it reminded me of another incredible video on old tech (at the time, though, it was outrageously innovative and prescient) that I've watched here on RU-vid: look up "The Mother of All Demos, presented by Douglas Engelbart (1968) ". (Note: also from the 1960s.)

@@jamesedwards6173 Fascinating video. I sadly do not have the patience\time to watch the entirety right now. It immediately reminded me of reading Ivan Sutherland's 1957(?) thesis on computer graphics.

Agreed, interesting content is getting buried in garbage.

My own thought is this was not seen by him he must have been a baby at the time if he was alive so it's second hand knowledge which I don't subscribe to!

@@LeonDDel Wow. So you only believe anything you've ever learned from eye-witnesses? Darwin on Evolution, Einstein on e=mc2? Somewhat limiting, but your Weltanschauung, your right.

Or maybe people just looked at the original official photos and called bs. 'the results under their noses' doesn't make sense at all, that means it's right in front of us in our day to day correct? what do you mean exactly and how is it a part of my day to day.

@@eclipsemercx3687no they are just poorly educated and fascinated by ridiculous conspiracy theories. Even a small amount of knowledge is all you need to validate the Apollo landings. Not a single scientist or (real) engineer doubts the moon landings happened as broadcast. Unfortunately, American education has been seriously eroded. The don’t understand technology. None of them can show a single Apollo claim is false. The burden of proof is on them. Unfortunately, they don’t have the eduction to understand.

​@@briandenley .. 'None of them can show a single Apollo claim is false. The burden of proof is on them.' validating something that allegedly happened all the way on the lunar surface isn't something a book can do. That would have to be observed. it doesn't matter how conditioned we are to accept a presented reality, that is not validation.

@@eclipsemercx3687 you can’t just call BS. Where is your ‘proof’? NASA has the proof, you have nothing. What are you gonna say when ANOTHER country takes pictures of the landers? Yeah I know: the whole world is in on the conspiracy! You’re right there with the pillow guy!
