I thought this was pretty cool.  I guess the source code has been public for a while, but the guidance system code for Apollo 11 is available on Github.  Apparently the comments are laced with some humor and references to some current events (it was written in 1969).

My phone has a more powerful computer than the Apollo missions had. They were some brave people.  :thumbup:

Ha, definitely...  Like that quote from I think Armstrong, where he said he can't believe he's strapped to a rocket built by the lowest bidder...

If I remember correctly, the very first calculator from Texas Instrument had 1000 times the computing power.
