## Summary
Maker Michael Newton is leading the Recreate Apollo open-source project to build a 1:1 scale replica of the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) DSKY interface. The build utilizes a Raspberry Pi running the Virtual AGC emulator to run Apollo 13 Command Module software. The project provides open-source CAD models, schematics, and a detailed build guide on GitHub.

## Technical implementation of the DSKY replica
- Uses a **Raspberry Pi** to host the **Virtual AGC emulator**.
- Runs the specific **Apollo 13 Command Module software**.
- Features a **1:1 scale 3D-printed DSKY** (Display and Keyboard) based on archived NASA drawings.
- Includes **open-source CAD models (.stp files)**, schematics, and a 100-page documentation guide.
- Integrates microcontrollers via **USB** to interface with the Raspberry Pi.

## Why it matters
The project provides a complete open-source hardware and software stack for enthusiasts to recreate historical space computing hardware.
