<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Since it was the 40^th
anniversary of the first time that man landed on the moon last week I
thought I would give you all some articles on this subject. This is
how the software for Apollo 11 was built and tested:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">The Apollo 11 command module code is
released to open source to commemorate the 40^th
anniversary, sadly I haven&#39;t found any second-hand Saturn V rockets
on Ebay yet:</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;">Last week an Australian astronomer,
Anthony Wesley, captured pictures of Jupiter where a mark on its
surface (approximately the size of Earth) suggested a hit from a
Comet or Asteroid. Anthony uses open source software for his
telescope picture captures (O.S. - Fedora 10 ):</p>
