Beh, dai, "conoscere", adesso non esageriamo. Diciamo che hai letto qualcosa senza capirlo e hai sentito il dovere di ripeterlo con tutta la sgrammaticata veemenza di cui sei capace
A me interessa sgombrare il campo dal maggior numero possibile di cazzate, e una è meglio che niente.
L'emulatore (non un simulatore, è diverso) è basato sul funzionamento dell'ACG. Se l'ACG non fosse un sistema perfettamente funzionante, non ci sarebbe nulla da emulare, ci sarebbe da riprogettare da zero. E non è questo ciò che è accaduto (l'emulatore è ben documentato)
In merito al tizio che l'ha costruito fisicamente, per testare un PC non è necessario che l'input arrivi da 400000 km lontano (questa nella sua ingenuità farebbe tenerezza, se non fosse che stai parlando di cose di cui non sai un cazzo con tanta intollerabile arroganza).
This article will demonstrate that according to the published documentation the AGC was unfit for purpose.
Some say that it was not important if the Apollo Guidance Computer was underpowered because it was the mainframe computers back on Earth that were calculating the trajectory of the Command and Service Module (CSM). It is totally impossible for these computers to calculate in advance the entirety of the trajectory commands of the engines, because commands to an engine are only approximate and there is always a slight margin of error – over time such errors accumulate and become significant.
The only way to guide these craft was to have continuous control, constantly acquire instrument readings, compare them with the desired values and compute a correction to the engines. In this way a craft can accurately follow the desired trajectory. However, if the mainframe computers were doing the guidance, the readings would first have to be transmitted to them, taking at the very minimum 1.25 seconds. And after the commands have been calculated by the mainframe computers they would have to be transmitted back to the craft, which would take a further 1.25 seconds minimum.
So, if the mainframe computers on Earth were providing the guidance, there would be an accumulated delay of at least 2.5 seconds transmission time, which means that EVEN IF THEY WERE ABLE TO MAKE VERY RAPID CALCULATIONS OF THE GUIDANCE the mainframe computers could only react with a minimum delay of 2.5 seconds.
The period of guidance on the CSM/LM computer was of 2 seconds, which is less than the accumulated time of transmission for the guidance with the mainframe computers; this means that the guidance made by the ‘local’ computer was faster, even though considerably slower than the mainframe computers. In addition there was the possibility of a temporary loss of transmission during which the mainframe computers could not ensure guidance of the craft. So one must conclude that using the mainframe computers on Earth for guidance was both slower and unsafe.
Mi vedi male. L'onere della prova spetta a te
