There's more information about the Gemini software and how the programmers worked here: https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/Gemini.html#Evolution_of_the_...



Wow, that diagram is absolutely wild! Thanks for sharing. Handwritten flowcharts and most of the code is actually math formulas and matrix computations.


I just read that entire page, amazing stuff.
