   @mos_8502 @enigma @thomas I feel compelled to mention Margaret Hamilton on this thread, although she did the fun part of the AGC... the code!

     @codewiz
     Really " just for fun " ? ( of course not ). However the real fun part had her little daughter who played around on a keyboard with the running AGC program. And Hamilton overhauled AGC for unreasonable input that astronauts would accidently do as her daughter did. This way the reboot was born.
