Few launch vehicles are as iconic and distinctive as NASA\'s behemoth rocket, the Saturn V, and none left such a lasting impression on those who watched it ascend. Developed with the specific brief to send humans to the Moon, it pushed rocketry to new scales. Its greatest triumph is that it achieved its goal repeatedly with an enviable record of mission success. Haynes\' Saturn V Manual tells the story of this magnificent and hugely powerful machine. It explains how each of the vehicle\'s three stages worked Boeing\'s S-IC first stage with a power output as great as the UK\'s peak electricity consumption, North American Aviation\'s S-II troubled second stage, Douglas\'s workhorse S-IVB third stage with its instrument unit brain - as much a spacecraft as a rocket. From the decision to build it to the operation of its engines\' valves and pumps, this lavishly illustrated and deeply informative book offers a deeper appreciation of the amazing Saturn V. How human pilots and automated systems worked together to achieve the ultimate in flight--the lunar landings of NASA\'s Apollo programAs Apollo 11\'s Lunar Module descended toward the moon under automatic control, a program alarm in the guidance computer\'s software nearly caused a mission abort. Neil Armstrong responded by switching off the automatic mode and taking direct control. He stopped monitoring the computer and began flying the spacecraft, relying on skill to land it and earning praise for a triumph of human over machine. In Digital Apollo, engineer-historian David Mindell takes this famous moment as a starting point for an exploration of the relationship between humans and computers in the Apollo program. In each of the six Apollo landings, the astronaut in command seized control from the computer and landed with his hand on the stick. Mindell recounts the story of astronauts\' desire to control their spacecraft in parallel with the history of the Apollo Guidance Computer. From the early days of aviation through the birth of spaceflight, test pilots and astronauts sought to be more than spam in a can despite the automatic controls, digital computers, and software developed by engineers.Digital Apollo examines the design and execution of each of the six Apollo moon landings, drawing on transcripts and data telemetry from the flights, astronaut interviews, and NASA\'s extensive archives. Mindell\'s exploration of how human pilots and automated systems worked together to achieve the ultimate in flight--a lunar landing--traces and reframes the debate over the future of humans and automation in space. The results have implications for any venture in which human roles seem threatened by automated systems, whether it is the work at our desktops or the future of exploration The incredible story of how human pilots and automated systems worked together to achieve the ultimate achievement in flight--the lunar landings of NASA\'s Apollo programAs Apollo 11\'s Lunar Module descended toward the moon under automatic control, a program alarm in the guidance computer\'s software nearly caused a mission abort.
