    The code that took America to the moon was just published to GitHub, and it’s like a 1960s time capsule
    When programmers at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory set out to develop the flight software for the Apollo 11 space program in the mid-1960s, the necessary technology did not exist. They had to invent it.
    They came up with a new way to store computer programs, called “rope memory,” and created a special version of the assembly programming language. Assembly itself is obscure to many of today’s programmers—it’s very difficult to read, intended to be easily understood by computers, not humans. For the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), MIT programmers wrote thousands of lines of that esoteric code.

    There's nice bug report on the Github page: https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/issues/3

    A customer has had a fairly serious problem with stirring the cryogenic tanks with a circuit fault present. To reproduce:

    Build CSM
    Perform mission up to translunar coast
    During translunar coast, attempt to stir cryo tanks
    If a wiring fault exists, the issue may be replicated. Be aware that this may be hazardous to the tester attempting it.
