"We were looking at what is rumored to be the only remaining paper copy of the Lunar Module’s source code . This is the source code book used by Don Eyles during Apollo missions and for development. Don was responsible for writing code for the Lunar Module, specifically about 2000 lines that actually landed man on the moon. He turned up at the MIT Faculty Club in June and brought this original print out along, in its own suitcase of course."

Toward the end, he briefly mentions the PID problem metioned in the previosuly posted video.
