My trick for successful landing the CDC Cyber/6000 series lunar lander
version was to set the initial height above the moon's surface to the
minimum height of 1' and then let it drop. I never successful landed from
the default height above the surface. It was seriously difficult.
Is that why people don't go to the moon very often, any more? :-)
You reckon someone in Moscow is wishing they heard about this trick a week ago?
(This stuff is before my time. I should go and dig out DECLander on VWS for my
VAXStation 2000...)
