Re: it's not off topic... Message #2 Posted by Maximilian Hohmann on 20 Sept 2012, 4:07 a.m., in response to message #1 by db (martinez, ca.) Hello! You mean ... all this was controlled by an Hp-41 via HP-IL? Wow ;-) These are really great pictures (higher pixel count anywhere?) of an era that went by far too quickly. A shame that "we" are now returning to 1950ies space capsules. Max
