Moon Machines
This entry will be about a documentary video produced by the Science Channel. This is the youtube link where you can whatch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ1O0XR_cA0
This documentary is about the technology used to get prepared for the project to get the man to the moon. For that there were a lot of experiments and a lot of requirements to achieve the goal. First engineers to improve the fligth technology to invent and build the rocket and then the computers. Because of the era, the computers were incredibly big to take them to the moon, so the new challenge was to invent a smaller one. But there were more problems like the computers didn´t have enought memory.
And machines like the rope computers were created. On 1968 was the first fligth to the moon, sending humans in a rocket to orbit the moon, and as espected, it was successful. All the technology used on the flight was well-prepared and showed the results almost as it was calculated, only it was a little error on the time the rocket will round the dark side of the moon.
After that, the next mission was to land on the moon, It was a year later, when the mission took place and it was the first time when the man walk on the moon. But it wasnt all flowers, before landing a code error was tilting, worrying austronauts and engineers. Code 2001 and 2002 was on priority by all of them, and it took long time to discover what was the problem. And it was that the computer overloaded, but it was fine to continue.
I think that we have improve a lot, talking about technology. We have improve how the computers works and the control of data it delivers. Now is more "easy" to send men to the moon as the technology is better and better than 40 years ago.
