What is a flight computer, anyway?
Ian Botashev
A talk on how modern rockets use software (often times Open Source) to accomplish nigh-impossible tasks, such as taking off from Earth or very accurately getting to a certain orbit. Goes into a simulation I have made, which includes naive flight software capable of takeoff and orbit.
