Am I the only one here that finds this fascinating?

No, not the only one!

(There's a certain amount of old CPU interest over at http://anycpu.org/forum/ - for one thing, people who want to invent their own CPU architectures are often interested in other CPU architectures, and there have been loads of those.)

There's also an AGC implementation for FPGAs on github.com. Amazon also has a great book: "The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation."

I'll have to find the link (and add it to this post) to the re-implementation of the AGC using TTL components.

That is amazing! That is totally something I would do. I wonder if the wife would mind me taking over the entire basement for something like that? lol

The AGC has somewhat less compute power than an Arduino, apparently.
There's an in-browser emulator if you want to give it a spin:
