The source code for Apollo 11 is on GitHub.
Including the comments.
For example:
# BRANCH IF ANTENNA ALREADY IN POSITION 1
# ASTRONAUT: PLEASE CRANK THE
# SILLY THING AROUND
# TERMINATE
# PROCEED SEE IF HE'S LYING
# ENTER INITIALIZE LANDING RADAR
# OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD...
Off to see the wizard indeed!
From a bit further down in the same file:
# ASTRONAUT: NOW LOOK WHERE YOU ENDED UP
There's a bunch of other fun stuff scattered about. I don't pretend to understand any of the actual code, but I love seeing the humanity peeking through.
It's also fun to see the Languages breakdown for this repo: 100% assembly. Not something you see every day.
