You'll probably like Episode 5 then, its about the Apollo AGC and its development.

Hi Ivan,

Thanks for the pointer to the podcasts. Great for a long drive instead of listening to the radio.

I've been following the restoration of the Apollo AGC, they finally have got if up and running with a simulated landing on the moon. Landed on it's side, instead of the landing legs, but they made it.

I had a Shuttle simulation once that I initialized on the Launch Pad wrong. The Stack was Horizontal instead of Vertical at liftoff, it was a wild ride to SRB seperation, but the sim made it.

    Something for all you space history buffs.

    The BBC World Service is doing a podcast series on the history of the
    Apollo 11 landing. Its based around the final descent of the
    Apollo 11
    lander, with an in depth look at what it took to get there. Lots of
    technical and organisational detail, much of it explained by the
    people
    who were actually there.

    I'm up to Episode 5 and enjoying every minute of it so far.
