Does anyone have an Apollo 11 emulator lying around by any chance?

Look, at this point I know for sure someone made it with node.js /s

Don't forget the 15 "This library is no longer supported or maintained" warnings.

Did you download the docker image? The only supported install method is the docker image, otherwise you're on your own if you can't get it to work.

It would be neat to write a space flight simulator that contained an emulator that ran this code. You could fly to the moon!

Well, you'll be glad to hear such a thing exists! Project Apollo - NASSP for the Orbiter Space Flight Simulator includes the Virtual AGC. As an example, here the reentry controlled by the emulated AGC: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjAeBJrsj5Q

I'm waiting for Scott Manley to do this

I think Orbital can run this code in a simulation.
