[SGVHAK] "The Computer Hack That Saved Apollo 14"

[Lan Dang via HAK]

Wow, Scott Manley gives a detailed account of how the Apollo 14 crew had to hack the computer to avoid aborting their mission.  Just goes to show how well you need to understand your hardware and your code if you want to troubleshoot something sent out to space.  Also...TIL that you can sew computer code and that the hack involved a noun and a verb.
