Apollo 11 guidance code hits public domain

The AGC code is a masterclass in resource-constrained engineering, proving that 2KB of RAM is enough to reach the moon if your logic is flawless.

• –Features legendary code comments like BURN_BABY_BURN and TRASHY LITTLE SUBROUTINES that humanize the high-stakes development
• –Demonstrates pioneering concepts in real-time operating systems, including priority-based multitasking and error recovery
• –The repository has evolved into a "social coding" landmark where the community identifies transcription errors by comparing the code to original NASA scans
• –Serves as a primary educational resource for understanding the foundations of software engineering laid by Margaret Hamilton and the MIT Instrumentation Lab
