RE: Apollo Software / AGC saved from scrapyard
Dear All,

here is an amazing story about the rescue of the first Apollo Guidance Computer from a scrapyard. According to Golem.de a Computer scientist from South Africa discovered the first AGC. After its Mission "Apollo-Saturn 202" it was discarded and sold as part of a 3 ton scrapmetal block to a man from Houston/Texas. The German article tells the full story and references this Gadget-Article which is written in English.

Enjoy!

Best regards

Karl
