Real Story of Apollo 11 Landing
When the Apollo 11’s Eagle module began its historic descent to the Moon in 1969, the computer became overloaded and was wildly flashing error codes. The astronauts were baffled by the alarms, as was the rest of the world for more than 50 years, including Don Eyles, the young programmer who developed much of the computer code.
Eyles, then 26, was so terrified by the turn of events that he said he would have recommended that Houston abort the mission. Cooler heads prevailed at mission control and, of course, the Eagle continued on its course and completed a successful landing. Find out more about the mission in the following video on the Wall Street Journal channel.
