Apollo Guidance Computer Part 24: the restored AGC does Moon landings in front of its creators

Our AGC is restored just in time for the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing. It goes on tour, featured at several celebration events on the East Coast, where it meets some of its original creators. And we fly Apollo 11 Moon landings with it.
