Apollo Mission Films (Part 14, Apollo Control Systems)

NASA made several films during the Apollo program about the physics, calculations and programming principles used to do the manned Moon trip. Compared to today's standards many of those are very detailed and give very good information about how the programs behind the successful missions were tailored. Most of films originated from MSC (Manned Spacecraft Center) Houston, Texas. This is a list of links I have found in YouTube (there might be more in various archives).
