Take a look at Apollo 11’s source code on GitHub

This isn’t the first time Apollo 11’s source code has appeared online. Google’s hosted it a few years ago. But to make it easier to look for it, the code is now up on Github. Former NASA intern Chris Garry put up all the Apollo Guidance Computer source code on the site to see how NASA was able to make that mission to the Moon.

It isn’t even all serious business as Reddit users have noticed things like the line 666 of the lunar landing turns up a “numero mysterioso.” Also in the code is a reference to radio DJ Magnificent Montague’s classic “burn, baby, burn.” Having the code up on GitHub will give it access to a whole new audience, which may or may not affect development in the future.
