The code that took America to the moon was just published to GitHub, and it's like a 1960s time capsule

"Burn, baby! BURN!"

Il codice scritto in linguaggio assembly che portò l'America sulla Luna nel '69 è stato pubblicato su GitHub. La routine di accensione dei motori principali si chiama BURN_BABY_BURN Girano altre routine di gestione dell'allunaggio, dove pare ci siano stringhe di indicazioni per gli astronauti "GIRARE QUEL COSO SCEMO LÌ" "CONTROLLARE SE DICE CAZZATE"

“If we adopt the same collaborative mindset and practices that got to the moon and back, and that built the International Space Station, we can alleviate poverty—and do much more.”

An address to the nation to be read by President Richard Nixon should the Apollo 11 astronauts become stranded on the moon,

To: H. R. Haldeman From: Bill Safire July 18, 1969. ——————————————————————————- IN EVENT OF MOON DISASTER: Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace. These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice. These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding. They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by the nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown. In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man. In ancient days, men looked at the stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood. Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts. For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind. PRIOR TO THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT: The President should telephone each of the widows-to-be. AFTER THE PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT, AT THE POINT WHEN NASA ENDS COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE MEN: A clergyman should adopt the same procedure as a burial at sea, commending their souls to “the deepest of the deep,” concluding with the Lord’s Prayer.
