Does anybody know of how to volunteer with the systems analysis?

Is there a like program for the Kennedy Space Center launch
control room?


I guess the first order of the project would be to turn on
the stations and see if the computers still work. Maybe there
is a "monitor mode" that reports a valid turn on state of the computer?


Come on, separate computers for each station? Do you think they
had that in 1969? There was an IBM mainframe, it probably is no
longer there and would cost too much to get running.

Put a Raspberry Pi in each station to blink the lights and act upon
the buttons...
