1960's NASA Documentary: Computer for Apollo

Here’s a fantastic 30-minute NASA documentary from the mid-sixties that covers the function and manufacture of the Block I AGC, as explained by Elden Hall and other responsible parties. You’ll notice the use of early, single-gate Fairchild integrated circuits in a round “can,” which were later replaced by dual-gate “flat-pack” integrated circuits in the Block II AGC.
