The Apollo 11 Code Is Open Source (and it's hilarious)

The code that landed Apollo 11 on the Moon ran on less computing power than your thermostat, and the full source is free to download. I dug through the Apollo Guidance Computer's assembly, found Margaret Hamilton's name and some genuinely funny comments, then ran it in an emulator. If you write code for a living, this is worth a watch. 🔗 Relevant Links https://github.com/chrislgarry/apollo-11 ❤️ More about us Radically better observability stack: https://betterstack.com/ Written tutorials: https://betterstack.com/community/ Example projects: https://github.com/BetterStackHQ 📱 Socials Twitter:   / betterstackhq   Instagram:   / betterstackhq   TikTok:   / betterstack   LinkedIn:   / betterstack   📌 Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:34 Margaret Hamilton and the Apollo software 1:27 The hardware: 3,840 bytes of RAM 1:54 Core rope memory 2:32 The funniest comments in the code 4:38 The Executive scheduler 5:14 Restart protection 5:41 The 1202 alarms on the way down 6:19 Running Apollo 11 in an emulator 6:56 The launch checklist 7:41 Outro
