I would like to point out several things:
1. Luke Talley is awesome.
2. Every single frame of this video requires more memory storage than this memory module is capable of handling. Think about that.
3. This is not the Apollo computer. This is the Saturn V computer. They're different. This steered the rocket.

Luke Tally needs his own youtube channel. I could listen to his knowledge and stories for hours.

[stilgaardfremen]

The amount of knowledge he still retains ~50 years later, he's the epitome of "I forgot more about this than you'll ever know". What a treasure.

[Creationsbyelder]

Someone needs to sit down with Luke for a month and record and transcribe everything he tells them. When people such as this are gone, the world will be missing out on something very special. I could listen to him for hours and days on end.

[Infidel]

Luke Talley is a national treasure how lucky we are to have men such as him .

[florint.]

Luke (explaining how they processed the telemetry data):
`…then you do this for about two weeks and finally you have enough to plot a graph by hand. So you put in all these numbers and you plot by hand and you say: "hmmm, that wasn't the problem after all. Oh, well, here we go again…"`
:mindblown

[lrenzz]

36:05 - "You remember all this it's unbelievable"
"I'm just... I'm just making it up"
What a humble guy

[FCWW]

9:02 “been there, flunked that test many times!” I love this guy! A human, not some superhuman, that was part of this group that figured out how to get to the MOON. That’s inspiring to me, and it should be for everyone else who has big dreams. Rock on Mr. Talley.

"Thermodynamics. Ugh" - Luke Talley, 2019. Exactly how every undergrad physics student feels

[djp_video]

Where is the "Love" button?


Mr. Talley is a national treasure.

[reikoshea]

Apparently my watch time on these made youtube put this video on my recommended feed, but not the main video.

[Red]

What gets me is the Average person who goes to this museum, they really won't understand how crazy this stuff is. They will just walk up, say "neat box go boop boop, " then carry-on without knowing how crazy that stuff was made. Lol

[MaxAcceleration]

Luke Talley has such a natural ability to explain complex processes in easy to understand laymen terms. He's so smart and truly knows his stuff. Somebody should just document his experiences non-stop to capture his thoughts for future generations. What a brilliant man!

[GumbootZone]

36:04 "You remember ALL of this??"
"Nah.. I'm just making it up."
lol That was awesome.

[RippinLips]

That’s known as wires 😂😂
This was like learning about the Saturn from my grandpa which would be pretty cool

[ryanmj]

Dustin- “Can you tell me what that does???”
Luke Talley-
0110110100110101010
0101001011110101001

“This plugs in to that board.”

[Real]

I love that Luke was almost offended when you showed him the Logic board you had. He had this face of "Wait. That's illegal" hahaha

And yes, I came back after 2 years to watch this again. Luke is incredible. What a legacy he has left our civilization with.

[johngaydos]

I am a 70 year old engineer and this is one of the best videos I have seen. A true history lesson of what was going on when I was in college at Purdue University. Neil Armstrong and Gus Grissom are alumni and were in good hands with guys like Luke working on the space program.

[gpaine]

My great grandfather worked for IBM on the Apollo series rockets. He passed away before I was old enough to appreciate the learning and knowledge he had. I always dreamed of walking around Kennedy and having him explain these systems through his eyes. I imagine it would be a little like this. Thanks, Destin.

[traetuusplays]

Does anyone else find themselves watching this at least once a week? Idk what it is, but this episode, along with the tori one are just mesmerizing.
