NASA program name choice
[edit]- "Colossus was the name of at least one of the programs which ran on the very tiny computer in the Apollo Capsule which was a central part of the NASA project which first landed men on Earth's Moon. It is unknown whether the name was chosen to reflect a (then hidden) connection to the Colossus computer from Bletchley Park."
Is there any serious speculation that this was the reason for the NASA's name choice? — Matt Crypto 18:24, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Colossus of Rhodes - Helios vs Apollo
[edit]Just a note: the link on this page to the Colossus of Rhodes says it's a statue to the god Helios, while the page itself says it's a statue to Apollo. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.88.155.110 (talk • contribs) 17 May 2005
- I don't know, but Colossus of Rhodes has since been changed to be "Helios", matching this page. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 02:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
