The repaired AGC should provide us with 1960’s best real life video game ever. Thanks to our improvised PIPA accelerometer, we can now trick the AGC into thinking it’s flying a LM. We fly through the whole landing sequence: program P63, braking, P64 approach, and P65 landing. We don’t quite fly it in a closed loop as intended, and the landing is soft only in one direction, but that is the hell of a video game.
