I kind of never thought too much about the moon landing until SpaceX hype and the book The Martian got me interested in the skies. Someone here recently posted http://www.firstmenonthemoon.com/ which is a collection of video, audio, and data streams synced in real time of the landing. It's so exhilarating and amazing. And it was the 60s! It was just so rock and roll, an incredible feat.
The comments on Youtube for that video are not kind. I'll watch all of it later, but it seems to have some serious flaws. I enjoyed an older documentary on the AGC that was part of a series called Moon Machines. The episode on the AGC is here:
Yes the commentary was a little fast paced, shades of Patrick Moore on Sky at Night.
I personally found the graphic presentation of the machine instructions and machine design informative. I was pausing and stepping through frames quite a lot.
57:38 or so for the code 1202 alarm. I have a much better understanding of 1202 from this presentation.
There is a small mistake in the talk: they say all the AGCs are either crashed onto the earth, crashed onto the moon, not flown, or returned (and in museums). There is still one AGC out there in space: the lunar module for Apollo 10 was put into orbit around the Sun.
