Digital Apollo

Presentation of the Digital Apollo by David A. Mindell

An interesting account of the human-computer interface challenges in the Apollo space program, that took Man to the Moon for the first time in 1969.

One of the highlights for me was the book cover picture, available at the book's website. It is a computer graphics recreation of the perspective Neil Armstrong had when he was landing the lunar module. Thrilling!

Sure takes me back to when I was a kid and wanted to be an Astronaut...
