Comment on Apollo 11 Guidance Computer source code for the command and lunar modules

Didn’t this get released a couple years ago? Or was that a different ship?

These files were originally put on GitHub in the VirtualAGC repository [1] in 2015. The code was publicly released and digitized into these source files in 2009, through cooperation with the MIT Museum.

Here is a HN post from 2016, although maybe more got added recently?

I have the same question, and in addition I'm confused why this repository seems to have been created by some random GitHub user.

He was an employee at NASA several years ago.

That makes some sense. Thanks.
