The Engineer That Worked on the Computer That Controlled the Saturn V - Smarter Every Day 223
Added 2019-08-08 01:49:01 +0000 UTCMan... this one was really fun to make. Luke Talley is an American Treasure. It was very interesting to see his mind juxtaposed with Linus's. This is one of those videos where I really want to jump in and ask a ton of questions, but I realize that there's a more qualified individual to ask the questions so I do my best to get out of the way and let the magic happen. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

2019-08-25 13:53:38 +0000 UTCBeing a software developer myself this was really interesting, especially the longer version on the second channel. Btw. Curious Droid also did a video on the LVDC that I found interesting, focusing on slightly different aspects: https://youtu.be/p12CinjFh1I - can't get enough of that stuff :)
2019-08-21 16:28:58 +0000 UTCThis video was so fantastic. It is amazing to see how ingenious the old guard was.
2019-08-18 01:48:48 +0000 UTCThere's no part of this I didn't love.
2019-08-09 20:26:52 +0000 UTCVery well put together. Will be really cool for kids now to see this information in the near future. You're preserving history Destin! Nice work!
2019-08-08 14:48:39 +0000 UTCI just wanted to say thanks for putting this together. The perspective and expertise Luke conveyed was fantastic, and since I'm a computer geek like Linus the dynamic worked really well.
2019-08-08 07:10:43 +0000 UTCThis was a joy to watch. Thank you so much Destin!
