To the Moon
summary
Summer 1969 narrative that connects Apollo specifics to software lessons: Saturn V and the Apollo command/service module plus the lunar module get built and tested after repeated failures (Ranger needs seven tries), the guidance computer throws a 1202 alarm during powered descent, software by Margaret Hamilton deliberately prioritizes tasks, astronauts hit 600 m with ~20% fuel then 60s and 30s warnings, a 1.3 km/h separation puff causes course offset, and manual piloting wins the day — showing small surprises and hard deadlines decide success.
