In the Apollo 11 guidance computer code (now on GitHub), there’s a routine named after a song lyric “Burn_Baby_Burn.” What is this code, and what does it refer to? Hint 1 The Apollo guidance code was filled with jokes. One routine name quotes a famous disco song. Hint 2 Look in the AGC source code for the ignition sequence name (think “Disco Inferno” lyric).
