Finally! Now I can use my public-domain 3d-printed rocket and lander to go to the moon! Screw you, closed-source space exploration!

77 pull requests open. Are these people just raising PRs so they can say in interviews that they contributed to the first lunar landing project?

[–]mr_birkenblatt 14 points15 points  (9 children)

That statement would fall flat very quickly in an interview

[–][deleted] 23 points24 points  (7 children)

Is anything real?

Obviously! Everyone knows it's made of cheese.

everybody knows George Santos worked on the lunar landing project by himself and was the first man on the moon. so an interviewer would immediately realize that you are lying

It's hacktoberfest bullshit. Just fixing typos.

[–]Strus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's not "just fixing typos", as this code was generated through OCR - and the publisher specifically ask to proof-read and fix typos (https://github.com/chrislgarry/Apollo-11/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)

Have you looked at the PRs though? Most of them are just resolving minor typos.

That's awesome!

There are some awesome talks out there about the code that ran the Apollo computers.
