After years and years of following every tiny detail in Mercury, Gemini, and Apollos 7 through 10; it felt surrealistic, like a dream. It felt like me watching it was part of a TV show someone else was watching. <br /><br /><b>> Today we know that many things went wrong with technologies that we'd find laughably primitive in 2014 as the Eagle was trying to land on July 20, 1969. </b><br /><br />Like what, Captain? The only thing that went wrong with 11 was that Armstrong forgot to turn off the docking radar, and when he turned on the landing radar too, the computer overloaded with a 1201 error.<br /><br />Interestingly(?), 1201 was also the error code when the computer was overloaded in Andromeda Strain. Is that a coincidence? <br /><br />One of countless things I'm sorry that I'll never know before I die.<br /><br />1201 was also an error code in the original IBM PC BIOS post.<br />_____<br /><br />Great site, BTW. It is <i>high time</i> someone paid attention to what Trek was all about—and it don't have sh it to do with Starfleet timelines or warp core antimatter injectors.<br /><br />-faye kane ♀ girl brain<br />Sexiest astrophysicist you'll ever <a href="http://tinyurl.com/kanecave" rel="nofollow">see naked</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
