Overview

While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, Michael Collins waited for them in lunar orbit

While Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon, Michael Collins waited for them in lunar orbit. He was known as the “world’s loneliest man”. His capsule had a state-of-the-art computer, but NASA didn’t provide him with any games. 55 years later, we are fixing this oversight.

Speakers:
Neil Fraser and Lena Ku are software engineers at New Voice in Zürich. At work they develop alarm systems and in their spare time they like to engage in computer archeology.
