Yeah but he had a bunch of engineers helping him not a kid playing.  I know I 
did land it once with the original card but it took me a couple of tries.  I 
don't think I had any left over.  That was when I decided to read through the 
programming logic and found to fuel value.  It was so much easier then.

Pretty sure that half the fuel does not have a possible solution.

I can do it with 1/6 fuel left (but I’ve never calculated the optimum).
 
And I have to say – it took me dozens of times to figure out how to do it 
without crashing. Neil did it the first time – in real time – and got it right. 
Damn
 impressive.

I had a TI59 with a card reader that had that game on it.  I had fun 
"challenging" others to take off and land the craft.  It was real fun to take 
half the fuel from them.  I had 3 cards. 
 One for others (like I said half the fuel), one for me (12x the fuel, I think 
it was), and the original card.  I made it look easy with all the fuel....so 
much fun having the kids with better grades crash and burn.
