Found the manual for this game

[StuffYouFear]

read it and still keep crashign the ships

[OtherDalfite]

Dang, nice find, and from MIT too! Wish I had one of these, even if it would simply be a mantle-piece.

[astropapi1]

Do want.

Where did you find it?

[AmpsterMan]

I think it is a testament to the accuracy of the game that I have learned most of the game by reading real articles on oebital mechanics and rocketry on wikipedia.

[FlamedSteak]

Finished reading Gene Kranz' book a couple of weeks ago and I recognise most of the names on the cover.

"Received JUL 7 1969". So someone in mission control probably used this during the Apollo 11 mission? Wow. Piece of history there

[7499275]

Wow, a great piece of history indeed! All I can say is don't give it to Jeb! lol

[rholtsla98]

I like how its a little singed in the bottom corner

July 7, 1969... Thats around Apollo 11, right. But I thought Colossus 249 was the program used for that, so whats Colossus 2A? Anyways, looks nice. Where did you get it at?

[NASAFanboy]

How much for it?

$120.00?

Anything?

I'll pay in gold if you want.

[earth]

i pay you 200$ for it

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

I pay always 1$ more than you guys do... Just kidding

[hugix]

That is lovely!

Comanche 55/Colossus 2A was Apollo 11's CSM computer software according to that.

lol, I bet it's just been dinged and mold/mildewed >.> But it's cooler to pretend it's been burned a bit, so we'll go with that

That's my favorite thing about this game; along the way you end up learning a lot about real life orbital mechanics.

*paddles in in a canoe*

Sir! I'll pay you a million dollars for that manual!

[StuffYouFear]

Found that and one for skylabs guidance while cleaning up some of my dads stuff, thought you guys would get a kick outa that. He was a guidance officer during the apollo missions.

Yeah thats mildew stains sadly, lots of flooding where I live from time to time

[JebIsMyHero]

That is an incredibly awesome find. Cherish it forever! (Perhaps you should get it restored somehow?)

[Kruleworld]

I hope the devs use this style for their game manual document

[3_bit]

Yea, I lost mine... It would be awesome if they made KSP compatible with an Apollo Guidance Computer replica, or if someone actually made one intended for KSP. Food for thought, DIYers.

Neato Burrito!

[Rainbowtrout]

Right, I'll get my gardening tools, I'll work for it.

[WinkAllKerb'']
