THE LUNAR MODULE’S COMPUTER. The LM’s display and keyboard (DSKY) enabled the astronauts to insert data into the primary guidance computer and initiate operations. The astronauts communicated with the computer by pressing a sequence of buttons. “Verb” indicated to the computer that it had to take some sort of action. “Noun” told the computer the next two numerical entries were what the action was being applied to. The 2K memory LM computer is a direct ancestor of all modern PCs, although it had far less memory than a modern pocket calculator.
