The following video may seem a bit off-topic, but anyone who has been reading our publication for a while knows that every now and then topics about space and space travel knock so loudly on our door that we simply can't ignore them.

Scott Manley aka @DJSnM became my personal super hero when he built a whole armada of crazy rocket and spaceship designs in Kerbal Space Program around 2016, and subsequently made them explode furiously. 💥

But besides KSP, you can find heaps of exactly what you're looking for (given you're a space-enthusiastic) on his channel.

Now, if you cross Space with Retrocomputing, mix in a 26-bit architecture with a 39-bit word size, and then have Scott freshly cook it all up, then the result can only be good.

And guess what: it is. In one of his latest videos, it's all about the computers that controlled the Gemini capsules. Plenty to learn, and lots of fun watching. And for those who didn't know Scott yet: you're welcome! 😘
