The people that made it possible:

The vision of the man in 1960s

— The astronauts: As they were concerned of not been able to pilot the spacecraft. And they
moon was seemingly imposible
were in the moon and that was the entire point of the mission so they highly succeeded.
as the technology used was
simpler than a toaster.
— Neil Armstrong (astronaut) : As he went ahead and ignored the “1202 error”, this is
important because nasa would have surely stoped the mission before landing in the moon which
would have thoroughly disappointing. Also he used a computer to calculate the data needed for
the launch the spacecraft off the surface of the moon, without this data we simply would not
see the astronauts return.

Apollo 11: The Computers used:

Facts: computers that put the man
on the moon.
— The assembler code entered the AGC by
using punch cards. — Command module computer: defined at MIT, built by
Raytheon.
— Apollo Guidance computer (AGC): real time operating
— The AGC can be downloaded as a file. system which performed tasks which were given by pairs of
noun/verbs to control the space ship. I t was called Luminary, it
was then coded into a language called MAC, and then by hand
— The AGT processed data by priority, and translated into assembler language so that the computer can
it became overloaded causing the “1202 understand.
error”. —IBM System/360 Model 75: the computer used to calculate
the launch of the space craft from the moon to the earth. It
used to be the most complex software ever written.
— The Apollo program was pre-Moores law.

— It proved that computers can be

entrusted with human lives and it is the
biggest technological achievement in 50
