I really like this idea of the Apollo collection, but I'm a bit disappointed that I can't see any of the code in any of the images. The close up of the comments is okay, but I would like clarification that there's real code there.

I haven't figured out a good way to make the text clearer in the product images. They're 36in x 24in, so when I zoom out to take a screen shot, the text is all muddled.

It's assembly code from here: https://code.google.com/p/virtualagc/source/browse/?r=258#sv...

The posters start with the code from BURN_BABY_BURN--MASTER_IGNITION_ROUTINE.s

Highly doubt there is actual code, and even if there is - how does it matter?

I concatenated a number of files together and removed new lines, and runs of certain characters (space, #, and * for example). I felt that runs of the same character distracted the eye too much to keep. Those NASA engineers liked to make huge blocks of # characters.

It would be really cool if you could pick the source code location that the image is made of.

So, have a way for you to enter a github repository (for example), and have the image created using that repository?
