    Yes, he does mean Core Memory, and yes, the AP-101 as flown in the Shuttle from mid-70s through to mid-90s did indeed use Core memory.

    That's a pretty funny statement, considering the first shuttle didn't launch until 1981. And besides, the computers in spacecraft have always been at least ten years old so they used 70s computers in the 80s, 80s computers in the 90s, etc.
