This is the code that sent Apollo 11 to the moon (and it’s awesome)

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...
