 How programming languages got their names
 Bash
 Clojure
 The creator wanted to include the letter 'c' (C#), 'I
 (Lisp) and 'j' (Java) and liked that it was a pun on
 'closure! The word 'closure, the act of closing, comes
 from the Latin 'clausūra' stemming from' clauděre'
 which means 'to shut or close!
 Bash is an acronym for Bourne-again Shell, a pun
 on the Bourne Shell - named after creator Stephen
 Bourne - being "born again". 'Bash' is also a verb
 meaning 'to strike with a heavy blow', possibly from
 the Danish 'baske' meaning 'to beat, strike!
 Quite simply C got its name because it was
 preceded by a programming language called B.C
 spawned its own children including C++ and C#.It
 is the third letter in the English alphabet and was
 originally identical to the Greek letter 'Gamma',
 Java
 Go
 Elixir
 The name Java was the result of a highly-
 caffeinated brainstorming session. Java, or 'Jawa'
 in Indonesian, is the name of a large island in
 Indonesia that produces strong, dark and sweet
 coffee. It has been a slang term for coffee in the
 United States since the 1800s.
 One of the Google developers said the name Go,
 sometime referred to as Golang, was chosen
 because it was 'short and easy to type'
 The word 'go, meaning 'to travel or go somewhere'
 stems from the Old High German 'gan' (to go).
 The word 'elixir', meaning a potion or essence that
 prolongs life or preserves something, stems from
 the Arabic 'al-ikst' via the late Greek 'xerion', a
 powder for drying wounds. Appeared in Middle
 English from the 14th century.
 Java
 JavaScript
 Kotlin
 Perl
 Originally named Mocha, a type of fine quality
 coffee, it was later renamed JavaScript, combining
 Java, US slang for coffee, + 'Script, 'something that
 is written' from the Latin 'scriptum, 'a set of
 written words or writing.
 Inspired by Java, it was named after Kotlin Island
 in Russia. Originally called Kettusaari by the Finns
 ('fox island') and Ketlingen by the Swedes, (maybe
 stemming from 'kettel' meaning 'cauldron'). After
 Russia won control of the island in 1703 it was
 Initially named Pearl, the alternative spelling was
 adopted as the name was already taken. It comes
 from the Middle French 'perle 'meaning 'bead' or
 'something valuable' and the Latin 'perna' meaning
 'leg, also a mollusc shaped like a leg of mutton.
 JS
 renamed 'Kotling' then 'Kotlin.
 PHP
 Python
 Ris named partly after the first names of the first
 two R authors (Ross Ihaka and Robert Gentleman)
 and partly as a play on the name of S, itss parent
 langauge. It is the 18th letter in the alphabet and
 derives from the Greek letter 'Rho'
 php
 Originally known as Personal Home Page
 Construction Kit, this was later shortened to just
 PHP (an acronym for Personal Home Page). It is
 now accepted as the initials for PHP: Hypertext
 Preprocessor.
 Creator Guido van Rossum named Python after TV
 comedy Monty Python's Flying Circus. The word
 'python' comes from the ancient Greek 'Puthón,
 the name of a huge serpent killed by the god
 Apollo. Later adopted as a generic term for non-
 poisonous snakes that constrict their prey.
 Ruby
 Scala
 Rust
 Influenced by Perl, the developer chose a
 colleague's birthstone which followed it in the
 monthly sequence (June is Pearl, Ruby is July).
 Ruby comes from the Old French 'rubi', a 'reddish
 precious stone', and the Latin 'rubeus, 'red'.
 Rust's name comes from a fungus that is robust,
 distributed, and parallel. It is also a substring of
 robust. Rust, also the reddish coating formed on
 oxidized metal, stems from the German 'rost' and
 possibly the Indo-European base of 'red.
 Scala is a combination of the first letters of
 'scalable' and 'language! It is also the Italian word
 for 'stairway', as it helps users to ascend to a
 better language. The logo is also an abstraction of
 a staircase or steps.
 SQL
 Swift
 TypeScript
 SQL
 Originating from the shortcomings of JavaScript,
 hence the similarility of the name. Its name
 combines 'Type', meaning a kind or class (from the
 Greek 'tuptein' 'to strike'), with 'Script, 'something
 that is written' from the Latin 'scriptum'.
 First called "Structured English Query Language"
 (SEQUEL), pronounced "sequel", it was a pun that it
 was the sequel to QUEL. It was later shortened to
 SQL. The word 'sequel' stems from the Latin
 'sequela' from 'sequr' meaning 'to follow.
 The word 'swift' means 'moving with great speed or
 velocity' and can be traced back to the prehistoric
 'swipt' meaning to 'move in a sweeping manner'. The
 swallow-like bird became known as a swift from the
 17th century and is used as the language's logo.

Apollo 11 Astronaut Buzz Aldrin took communion on the moon

Apollo 8 astronauts read from Genesis when in orbit


Roger B. Chaffee (Died in Apollo 1 fire) is quoted as saying 
“The world itself looks cleaner and so much more beautiful. Maybe we can make it that way—the way God intended it to be—by giving everybody that new perspective from out in space”



James Irwin (Apollo 15) wrote “Being on the moon had a profound spiritual impact upon my life. Before I entered space with the Apollo 15 mission in July of 1971, I was a lukewarm Christian, to say the least! I was even a silent Christian, but I feel the Lord sent me to the moon so I could return to the earth and share his Son, Jesus Christ.”

John Glenn the first American to orbit the Earth told reporters 
“To look out at this kind of creation and not believe in God is to me impossible. It just strengthens my faith.”



These are just a few examples of astronauts that had faith in God. I’m not here to start a debate. Just to say I feel it’s a bit disingenuous to tie in scientific discoveries with a lack of faith when some of the key people in those discoveries clearly had strong beliefs in some form of a higher power.


Also the quote is attributed to yuri gagarin the first man in space, however, wether he actually said that0 he saw no god in space is highly disputed, and he may have even been a convinced Christian.

Well I don’t think the soviet union took to kindly to any religion so that info doesn’t surprise me. I was trying to figure out if op had a source but couldn’t.


Also even if he did say that, I don’t know any Christian who would expect to see God just kind of hanging out in orbit around the earth…


Everyone knows God floats about in space like Princess Leia in The Last Jedi

    Apollo: ASANASANsp
 lDonald
 LOOK A
 AT HAT
 U SON OF A BITCH

 The first protest in space
 just happened, and it was
 against Donald Trump
 13 April 2017
 The first protest in space just happened,
 thanks to the Autonomous Space Agency
 Network (yes that's Nasa backwards), and
 ever better: it was against Donald Trump
 The team printed out a giant tweet from
 their own Twitter account, which read
 "LOOK AT THAT, YOU SON OF A BITCH,
 tagging Trump's personal Twitter account
 They then attached the sign to a weather
 balloon and flew it at 90,000 feet
thewondersofspace:

anthropwashere:
lyinginbedmon:

ithelpstodream:
out of this world trolling lmao
For bonus context, the actual quote they’re citing for this protest comes from Edgar Mitchell (1930-2016), who flew in Apollo 14 and was the sixth person to walk on the Moon.
The full quotation, referring to the experience of observing Earth from the Moon surface, is thus:
You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’



#WE’VE DONE IT BOYS#WE’VE PUT SALT IN SPACE

 We write all new code in Swift but we also carry the
 baggage of legacy Objective-C code. Ugly 10-year-old
 Objective-C code. You know what we mean. But we're
 committed to getting rid of it
 We reach 400,000 people every day. We support 13
 languages. We have more than 2 million vehicles in our
 database
 We really care about quality. We have a lot of tests and
 keep a close eye on our crash logs.
 . We aim to be data-driven. We A/B test all user-facing
 features.We're focused on user experience and work
 closely with UX designers.
 . We automate ALL THE THINGS. We own our Cl. We use
 TeamCity, Fastlane, Danger, and all the rest.
 We love trying new things. Architectural patterns,
 services, tools, you name it. Promises and Apollo
 (GraphQL) work great for us. Heck, we even tried Readt
 Native. Not that great.
 What We Need From You
 Passion for development and a strong sense of
 ownership
 * Be not afraid to explore or touch things, even in ugly old
 legacy code
 Be agile
 . Think beyond Swift and Objective-C. There will also be
 some Ruby, shell scripts, and even the occasional Scala
 Speak English (German is a plus, Bavarian even more,
 but that's more important for Oktoberfest)
 *Willing to give and accept help from your colleagues
 (a.k.a. "collaborative culture")
 Be smart and don't overengineer every piece of code
 you push (some overengineering between Christmas and
 New Year's Eve is fine)
The writer knows what’s up
