    “This song's lyrics, comprised of the audio from the Apollo 11 moon landing, contain the line "1202 alarm [...] We're go on that alarm?" The 1202 alarm indicated that the guidance computer was overloaded with tasks. Margaret Hamilton, the software engineer who worked on the guidance computer (and also literally created the term "software engineering"), anticipated this and programmed the computer to deprioritize lower-priority tasks and prioritize high-priority tasks (like landing on the moon). This is a great song, but it's also a great running song because your body is going to send you a lot of 1202 alarms. One of the goals of a good training regimen is to understand which alarms should make you stop, and which alarms are a "Go!"”
