Thanks Chris for those videos....wow, what a great insight.
The inertial Nav system spun me out, that they had so much faith
in it to let it fly the plane by itself.
Touched on so many areas to give you a real understanding of how
they all came together.
How funny is the quote from one of the MIT engineers when he told
his wife what he was involved in:
'I'm writing the software that will send men to the moon'
She says: 'please don't tell our friends' (software is such a new
concept it sounds insignificant and boring)

classic

thanks again Chris, thoroughly enjoyed those links.

Steve
