Didn’t the onboard computer fuck up royally on both the landing of the Apollo 11 LM, AND the Saturn V launch of Apollo 12?

That was a MIT computer using magnetic core memory. Although it was overloaded it prioritized the needed programs that allowed us to land on the moon.

Um, as I recall, Armstrong had to seize control and manually take over and land. How about the computer that went haywire during the 12 launch?

You’re part of a tough crowd judging early generation computers to today’s 21st century models. What IBM and others did in the 60’s was amazing and mission was accomplished!
