I, for one, think CosmicDave should get around to explaining the challenges to his numerous errors of fact, misrepresentation, and innuendo on his page at http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html. Random examples include the claim that "two meters of shielding" were supposed to have been required (for lunar missions), the often-answered question of tracking the A16 liftoff, and the claim that the AGC was inadequate to its task since it doesn't have the gazillabytes of a modern PC. As someone who's actually written firmware for a spacecraft computer, and operated said spacecraft, I'm still waiting for Dave to get around to 'splaining this particular howler.
