I have been following this series since it began, and it's just magical for the sort of nerds who have consumed all of the surface-level documentaries and books about Apollo, especially if you have an interest in electronics engineering, computer science, or radio communications. It's a genre that's distinct to YouTube--something I fear going away every time YouTube tries to chase TikTok and Instagram trends.<p>Marc, Ken, and their team are national treasures. I'm absolutely blown away at the depth and breadth of what they have accomplished in this series.

I suggested that after the Final Countdown first computers are made with Rope Memory and Mechanical Relays. But Ken Schirriff said NO -- you need semifast semiconductors to read the memory.

I'm really interested in the "development process", for lack of a better word, of Apollo. Obviously it was not kanban, sprints and retrospectives, but I am curious about how they actually went about it.

It's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, but the fact that a usb-c to HDMI cable has something like 100x more computing power than the AGC still blows my mind!
