The source code for NASA's Apollo 11 guidance computer, the software that carried the first crewed lunar landing in 1969, is publicly available on GitHub in a repository maintained by Chris Garry. People are rediscovering the code, commenting on its comments and jokes, and sharing it as a remarkable example of engineering from the era.

Why now: The open availability of historic moon landing code keeps surprising new audiences and drawing fresh attention to NASA's Apollo program.
