Hello All

Margret Hamilton ... Software engineer
And her Team wrote the code that sent Apollo 11 to the Moon.
And it's Awesome
It was written in Assembler and is posted on GIT-Hub
Note the use of Comments ... 
56 years later the Comments still help you understand the code and what it was doing
The Apollo Computer had 36 K of 16 bit Words of ROM -- Woven Core Memory
And 2K words of RAM
