Oh man ROTFL!
So, a while back I found an actual FOCAL program on the net and downloaded it, lunarlander.foc. I'm pretty sure I mentioned it here but I can't find my post.😞
Anyway it doesn't run in my version of the Conway/ Kida FOCAL interpreter and I just realized why.
Because this is ALL UPPERCASE source and this FOCAL only knows function names in lower case!
And I never noticed!
This FOCAL does accept uppercase keywords, but not functions.

Altimeter problems, lighting challenges caused IM-2 lunar lander to fall on its side
I used to want to study aerospace engineering. I still find the subject fascinating, but I have different goals now (not saying anything about those until I accomplish them though). Seeing this ol' thing in person was however one of the coolest things and my 17 year old self might have cried.

🚀 Ah, yes, a lunar lander that can't even land a webpage, let alone on the moon! 🌕 Perhaps they should try touching down on Earth’s basic HTTP protocols first. 😂
