Leaving old Season Passes on my trusty Tivo has paid off.
The Science Channel rearn "Moon Machiens." WHAT A GREAT DOCUMENTARY SERIES!
They go into how Playtex got the space suit contract, how Grumman built the Lunar Lander, and for us compu-geeks how for the first time a crew from MIT had to come up with a new thing called "software" for the Apollo computers, and make it work in 72K of "rope memory."
An irony: The reason the Apollo 1 hatch opened inward? Because they wanted to avoid another incident with the hatch blowing out as happened to the same Gus Grissom on Liberty Bell 7.
Unfortunately they don't have any other showing scheduled, but if you have a capable DVR set a Wishlist or Season Pass for it.
I'm going to be saving the series (in HD even) on my media network. I'll take offers.
