    If you haven't bumped in to CuriosMarc yet, his channel is fascinating. He and his friends have done incredible work figuring out how the Apollo computeres worked, even restored one in a video and used it to power a simulator to land on the (virtual) moon.

    This video shows a printout of the Assembly source code for Apollo 12.

    The latter part of the video talks about the the fix to the 1202 bug, a fascinating bug that almost caused Apollo 11 to crash on the surface.
