Apollo Guidance Computer, MIT History Project Conference pt.2 - 2001
The Apollo Guidance Computer Project brought together engineers, scientists, astronauts and administrators who worked on the AGC for a program of four conferences at MIT, held in 2001 and 2002. The program fit within a larger project called the History of Recent Science and Technology on the WorldWideWeb, funded by the Sloan Foundation and the Dibner Foundation. The overall idea as expressed by organizer Prof. David Mindell was to investigate how best to use the WWW as a medium for collecting histories of participants for science and technology projects. The second conference (shown here), held on September 14, 2001, focused on software and simulation issues. Participants included Slava Gerovitch PhD ‘99, Alex Kosmala, Jim Miller [ScD ’61?], Herb Thaler ‘60, Ramon Alonso [’62 PhD ’67?], Margaret Hamilton, Dan Lickly ’54 SM ‘55 and Fred H. Martin SM ’59 ScD ’65. Please Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/c/MITVideoProductions?sub_confirmation=1
