Margaret Hamilton, Director of the Apollo project Software Engineering Division, with a stack of papers containing the code to the Apollo Guidance Computer navigation software. The software that on this day, in 1969, guided Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they landed on the Moon.
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
SURPRISE. I HAVE MORE. ππ
Wait, why can't you do fireworks on the moon? There are plenty of flammables that carry their own oxidizers. That's how we got people OFF the moon in the first place*. Regular ones wouldn't work, but there are certainly ways to make it happen!
*I mean, it was a combination of hydrazine and an oxidizer, the point is that you don't need to rely on atmospheric O2 for combustion.
you set them off on the moon and those suckers just keep going up
i'm starting to feel like i'm missing out by never having listened to old gods of appalachia with the way i see y'all talk about it??
