This is the source code that sent humans to the moon in 1969—and it’s even more amazing than you think! The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) was a true marvel of its time. I'm so glad that I learned so much about the AGC. I take a look at how this "tiny" computer achieved one of humanity’s greatest accomplishments, and why its code (complete with jokes and Shakespeare) is still legendary today... #developer #coding Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:41 A Rundown of the Apollo Mission 02:29 The Apollo Guidance Computer is a beast 07:17 The Software that made it happen 11:11 The code had shakespeare 15:42 When errors happened during landing links: Github Repo for Apollo 11 Source Code: https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11 Good resource for more info: https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/ForDummies.html Transcripts of Apollo 11: https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/a11/a11trans.html ⭐️ Interested in the lego on my shelf, view my amazon store (affiliate) https://www.amazon.com/shop/codingwithdee/list/2UT9ZHQJ2EF93?ref_=aipsflist
