[i] Curiously, and despite the technological deployment of the AGC, no one was able to design a physical connection between the command module's CGC and the lunar module's LGC. Since the CGC was the primary computer throughout the mission, this meant that the astronauts had to manually input position and orientation data from one computer to another, an admittedly crude and time-consuming task (to top it off, the reference angles of the two vehicles were different, further complicating the LM IMU alignment procedure when activated in flight).[/i]
