This is part 2 of a 5 part episode. To watch the full show go to my channel (Zuke696) then go to my Playlist, find the show then click Play All - Moon Machines - Navigation - With computer software not yet invented and computing power less than a fraction of what is found in today's handheld devices, the challenge of navigating a 50,000-mile round trip to the moon during the 1960s was daunting. This episode examines how an elite group of scientists met the challenges of creating a spacecraft with an infallible navigation system and a sophisticated computer with detailed programs.

Impressive, not only how precise they were about making the gyros, but the amount of dedication, hard work, and time, Omigosh the time they put into these things... but remember, each and every one they released to NASA worked perfectly... every single time.
My father has been a watch repairman since 1970 so I know how precise and detailed the work of a watch must be. The fact that the MIT researchers employed watch making expertise is not a surprise because watches, and those who work on them, must be very precise. Thank you for posting this video. I have very much enjoyed it.
