A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Since I'm a copyeditor, hearing "one small step for man" now just kind of bugs me because it reminds me that it should have been "one small step for *a* man". Though it's still inspirational.

We probably all have some mixed feelings about the space race but the Apollo 11 mission never ceases to fascinate me. And to think it was 50 years ago, it all seems so quaint given the unbelievable pace of current technologies.

I remember a decade ago NASA had put the real-time audio of the moon launch communications online for the duration of what would've been the mission. It was fun. I think I had it on pretty much the whole time, at work, home, etc.
Avatar 11:15am v k:

in addition to the documentary being discussed on air...PBS (part of American Experience Series) has an amazing 6-hour documentary called "Chasing the Moon", which is currently available for streaming (very, very well done - highly recommend)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15am Webhamster Henry:

Apollo guidance computer specs:

2048 words of RAM. A "word" was 15 bits of data—therefore just under 2 bytes (16 bits) of data—and so the total RAM was just 3840 bytes.
36,864 words of read-only memory, equivalent to 69,120 bytes.

Maximum of about 85,000 CPU instructions executed per second.
