This program realistically simulates an Apollo moon landing
using NASA figures. It begins with module at 0 seconds, 120
miles above the moon, carrying 1600 pounds of fuel, with a
velocity of 2600 miles per hour. Upon radar checks of velocity,
altitude, remaining fuel, and time each 10 seconds,
you may decide upon fuel rate for next time arrival. The
object is to land safely on the moon.
