    Default Moonshot Day, 50 Years Ago


    Today is kinda special day. I worked on the Apollo project. I programmed this relay computer wire analyzer call the DIT-MCO 610. The cables from the machine hooked into the cable connectors of the rocket wiring and tested them for continuity. MILES and miles of wire was tested.

    Here is the picture of the machine and a link to the ASR 33 paper punch coder/printer. This was ASCI code and is still used today.

    I loved this project, but after #15, I got my pink slip. Me and 5000 others. Two shots later, it was over.
