An ascent routine for laughing

This video shows problems in the ascent program of the AGC.
First the program does not control the lateral thrusters, which removes any credibility from it.
Then I show that this program is stuffed with errors, redundancies, and absurdities.
Finally this program makes calls to the display which slow it down at such point that it should rapidly overload the computer, creating the same problem as in the descent of Apollo 11, that is display the 1202 alarm.
