In 1969, on the way to the Moon, this routine decided the exact second the lunar module's descent engine lit. Don Eyles and Peter Adler wrote it at MIT, and Eyles borrowed its name, BURN_BABY_BURN, from the radio DJ Magnificent Montague.
The bars trace the program tables and the opening of BURNBABY, one bar per line of assembly. The long even runs are constant tables, and a break in the rhythm is a label or a call. What you wear is the shape of the code that put people on the Moon.
