    Watched this last night and thought it was very cool. I think geeks (like myself) would enjoy it if they have the time. Around the 6 minute mark, one of the designers comes on and the video gets really good for the rest of clip.

    That is so freaking weird... I was watching the History Channel last night and they were talking about how the fail-safe computer on the Saturn 5 rocket was on that top ring of the rocket... And that the Saturn 14 crew used it to get to the moon because their primary computer took a dump.

    It's an interesting coincidence too.
