Moon Machines

The story of a man going to the moon is fairly common , but the part about the software used in order to go is one that I had never heard before, it is interesting to think that there was a time in wich the idea that writting software was not one of the most important or crucial parts of a project is extremely weird now when there is a project writing the software is considered important and is given to a specialized team.

The idea of the importance of software for a project has grown a lot over the years, from being considered a side project that was unimportant like in the moon landing to being the central or even only part for many of the projects done today.

I really liked watching the documentary, the story of the problems that this project had was quite interesting and it was lateral breaking to see how much this people worked for the moon landing to happen even with the price of losing the family in many ocations, I find it very refortifying that at least in this documentary their names and efforts are remembered . The project was very harsh and lives of people where other line(a situation that I never wish to be in). Because of the great affords of the programmers everything went fine and all the astronauts could survive their journey to the moon. Code should always be seen as an important part of a project and I find it somewhat foolish to think that it can be done easily or without much trouble(I guess that examples like this changed that perception a lot). I guess that in the future code will be seen as something even more important that it is today but only time can really tell us that.
