Makes me a Proud IBM’er , I always fascinated about being a part of IBM when I used to watch discovery channel never though I would have made it. I want to contribute positively now ❤
It's really amazing how much was achieved with so little back then. You guys rocked it!
“We could build them… And we did.” Words to live by.
Nice to see results of great engineering.
Actually, it would make for an interesting full length documentary! *hint hint!* :)

Yep,good idea.
I remember, as a child I saw it on TV Live in India, those were great moments. At that time IBM was not in vision only Moon and the Rocket. Kudos to the team rather teams.
My grandfather was on the team in Huntsville when the Saturn rocket navigation system was built
thank you ibm I TRULY MEAN THAT
Makes me proud to be an IBMer

So proud to be part of IBM and have a such great heritage
It's hard (almost impossible) now to imagine programming with a pen and eraser...
The first good film from IBM in a couple of years. I was starting to think they had given up trying. The executive at the end was unnecessary.

Wonderful Video , real value of IBM .
wow im early on this one, go ibm.
Nice video, well made, good to hear from the people who were directly involved in the computer side that day.
Thank you! Keep it up^
I'm pretty sure IBM didn't work on the AGC.... Am I confused here? IBM worked on the instrument ring and launch vehicle computers.
Wow! IBM burning the midnight oil behind the moon landing with NASA!
Proud to be an IBMer
These guys at gals are inspirational ❤
I always thought the computers and software were designed and developed by MIT?

The AGC on board of the Apollo spacecraft was built by MIT. IBM computers were used on the ground.
WOW
fathi fes said thank you so much
And here's IBM, again, telling us all about how they were relevant a long time ago. Sure wish that was the case today.
The moon landing is awesome! But why is takes place in 69?
" A thousand word of memory " . Just look at the programme listing , looks like a telephone book . So how was it possible to programme the AGC with only 36KB of ROM ? Was it all a hoax ?
Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️🧡🧡💛💚💙💜🖤💓💟💝
I never knew 4000 intercontinental ballistic missiles helped nasa to get to the moon, interesting!

I remember how people were capable of performing more accurate math calculations with more precision (albeit much much more slowly) than the IBMs. To this day IBM continues to be a shitstain on the computing world.
