Apollo 17 landing (Taurus-Littrow)

was most of screen blacked out? if so why?

@badtrinity72 No. It's the inside of the LM window. The camera is set back and filming through the window. The windows have a weird shape on the LM.

P-66: manual control!

@PC3900 Yep! I think when the AGS computer goes from P64 to P66, they set the PGNS in "Attitude Control" mode and manually fly the LM down--have you checked out the "Eagle Lander" LM simulator online? It's very cool--Gene Cernan tried it out for the sim's designer and said the flight model was pretty close to how the LM behaved in real life!
