I love that you can reverse engineer such an obscure piece of kit.

I guess there should be a 60ies computer room in the Smithsonian, where all the Apollo gear should be assembled in working condition. Including a CM in another hall, communicating back and forth. Well…

Such a shame that all that hardware software and documentation was not more carefully curated. MASSIVE thumbs-up to you and the team for resurrecting this old technology.

Give Ken long enough and he'll reverse-engineer the entire Apollo program. ;-) Marc, Ken, Mike, and Marcel will all be broadcasting from the Moon in 10 years or so. LOL.

Picard: Any findings on the box from Earth?<br>Data: Yes - Based on the construction and label, I've determined it was from early Earth space mission called Apollo and was used for updata.<br>Picard: What's updata?<br>Data: Not much captain, and you? <b>finger guns</b><br>Picard: <b>face palm</b>

That is just absolutely incredible what you all are able to do. By far the most interesting channel of all!

I love it when Ken explains stuff. Always straight to the point and a crystal clear argumentation. 👌

The way you guys are going I think I may hear the roar of an antiquated rocket engine sometime in the near future.

Ken is a Legend. He deserves a statue.

You have an incredible team! I'd love to see a special series with Master Ken explaining how to reverse engineer any unknown circuit (with elevator background music, of course).

You can see the twinkle in Kens eyes when Marc explains things to us. That's pure passion.

I'm more and more convinced, this will lead to you eventually reaching the moon. Just make sure to bring your HP lab equipment. You'll need it to fix the things for the return trip...
