- rodburch 18y agoi'm impressed by your brevity. a lost art for sure. real-time control is one place where science is beautiful and fun.
- DaniFong 18y agoA topic you know something about?
- rodburch 18y agojust enough to appreciate it. i didn't have the math skills to be a controls engineer, but i did design electromagnetic devices for a while, and totally envied the controls people who got to tie all the pieces together - electrical, electronic, mechanical, etc. my favorite example is the video of the apollo lunar module making adjustments as it approached the command module.
