This week's Retro Saturday feature is Electronic Computers and Applied Mathematics, 1961 educational documentary on mainframe computers.

The documentary doesn't have much in the way of aerospace and rocketry, other than a few fleeting instances of references to programs such as the X-15 and the launch of Explorer 1.

But it was the evolution of this technology that allowed NASA to send astronauts to the Moon later in the decade.
