Caption notes
CuriousMarc’s team begins restoring an Apollo Guidance Computer. Unpotted modules and recovered schematics let them probe internal signals and toggle inputs to check individual gates. The core-rope simulators still lack documentation and require reverse engineering; sealed memory and deteriorating connectors present further obstacles. This episode documents preparation and local checks, not a demonstrated lunar mission.
