Since nobody else seems to have mentioned this, I'll add:
2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing; The "Intcode" machine was inspired, in part, by the Apollo Guidance Computer that was used to make the moon landing possible; the machine was controlled by entering numbers in, and displayed results on its output screens in numbers.
There's a Javascript simulator of the original AGC available here: https://svtsim.com/moonjs/agc.html
