All I can say is wow.





This dude builds a replica an Apollo Guidance Computer, chip by chip, wire by wire. Insane.

awsome!

-I wonder if he wants to get my MS project going?

[Aerton]

I'm no computer engineer, and I understand the guy built this as a challenge/project but I heard that the computer on the space ship could be replaced by the the chip-set on a pda phone?

^^ I don't know if they could "replace" it, but it is said that a standard phone has the 'computing power' of the Apollo computers.

Is there a reason besides the fun of it?

Impressive work nonetheless.
