Turns out it’s an Argentinian place.. so not the normal Brazilian steak house experience, but menu looks tasty.

Fun fact, I once met Jim Lovell. My mom worked for him and got him to autograph a working model Saturn V rocket that I built.
That's awesome.

Closest anyone in my family has to something like that is my grand-father was sitting in an airport, waiting for his Pan-Am flight and got to sit next to and chat with Pappy Boyington.

so fucking bad ass
Go up to Huntsville and see a full Saturn V in their museum. They have cutaway F1 engines on site too. The engine was incredible. So much thought went into it. The turbine powered fuel pumps and using its exhaust to shield the nozzle from literally melting from the heat of combustion. The fuel plate. How intricate the nozzles are with integrated tubing which had fuel pumped through it to further cool the bell. Crazy shit.

Eh the rocket was computer controlled and many of the very difficult calculations were done by a supercomputer.

the computer was a hardware computer with hilariously small computing power. Woven by hand.

The space program would not have been possible without computers. As far back as Gemini NASA was using computers to simulate, help design, and control rockets and mission critical navigation and telemetry equipment. For the Apollo missions, NASA extensively used FORTRAN coding to assist difficult computations, and utilized high powered (at the time) computer arrays in labs across the US and at places such as MIT to simulate missions.

https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/ ... kthroughs/

NASA bought five IBM System/360 computers specifically for the Apollo missions.

https://space.stackexchange.com/questio ... 11-mission

Even Rocketdyne was using FORTRAN for all sorts of difficult computations and analysis on the F1.

"All the code I used and developed at that time was in fortran. The fortran programs performed analysis of test firing data, analysis of rocket processes (combustion performance, chemical kinetics, heat transfer, etc) and programs performing spacecraft thermal analysis."

Yes. But you said the rocket itself was supercomputer controled...and it was not

Heard an interview the other day with the head of NASA (I think) on NPR. Really interesting stuff about going to the moon again and then Mars. This time, the moon missions will have the purpose of figuring out how to live and work there so it can be replicated on Mars.

He was saying the goal was to be back on the moon by 2024 and Mars by 2035. Would be so cool to see both events happen in our lifetimes.

Gene Kranz - Flight Director - was 36 years old and most of the flight controller were in their early to mid-20's.

Kinda mind blowing when we consider how the current work environment tends to de-value young workers :millennial:

At most orgs, young people are good for nothing more than creating reports and putting together ppt for mgmt to present.

That's what I do at my job. Drastically overpaid for that, but whatever.

same.

Or get assigned "projects" that comes out of "high level" meetings that I wasn't a part of. That 1) really don't need to be projects 2) should be assigned to people that have the authority to make it happen.
