This is what I want to see emulated !

The source for the original Apollo 11 lunar lander flight computer.

Now THAT'S a lunar lander that needs some emulation!

Wish granted.

Or you can BYOAC (build your own apollo computer).

Oh Man.

Just a quick browse through those pages was fascinating.

I love the writable about the "workaround" for the error they got at one point.

This part especially

Exactly 26 seconds after ignition, manually advance the descent engine throttle to 100%.

(3) Key in

VERB 25 NOUN 7 ENTER 101 ENTER
200 ENTER 1 ENTER

to enable the landing guidance equations.

Imagine "keying in" that sequence, flying through space, exactly 26 seconds after you manually lit things up.

Gives a whole new meaning to "brass balls"

It will be proved to thy face that thou hast men about thee that usually talk of a noun and a verb, and such abominable words as no Christian ear can endure to hear!
