The program of the AGC does not burn the baby
This video talks about the program of the master ignition, baptised "Burn Baby Burn", the program which is called at the beginning of the powered descent, and which is supposed to put the main engine at full thrust to make the first phase of the powered descent, the braking phase.
I show that this program does not really fulfill this function, because, if it effectively sets the engine on, it does not put it at full thrust like it normally should, for the simple reason that the AGC has no control on the thrust of the engine, and I explain why.
Moreover this program also contains errors which have no excuse.
This completely discredits the powered descent.
