RE: NASA Software #4
That's pretty awesome, open source is truly the future. Granted, they still have lots of proprietary software, but that's probably for the best.

As a cool (but currently kind of impractical) bonus, here's all the assembly code that was written by hand then manually entered using core rope memory for the Apollo 11 command and lunar modules and here is a virtual Apollo Guidance Computer. As well, here's a picture of Apollo lead software engineer Margaret Hamilton standing next to all of that handwritten code.

I guess testing random things could be cool.

You never know what people can come up with when given some code to work with. Plus, NASA spends hundreds of thousands - probably even millions of dollars just testing code before anything gets launched, so it's easily the most robust and stable code on the planet.

I'm so sorry.

It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
