That's a little hard. How should we call the function to go to the moon? go2themoon() or gotothemoon() or maybe go_to_the_moon() but we can also call it moon_go()

Why PHP? I think it's not the best option for this propose. Has been programmed in Assembly to use the speed benefits in the space. If some smarty migration is needed to a modern language I think that Scala, for example, is a better option.

Migrate to C++, you get the best of all worlds haha.

Because PHP is the best PL all over the world.

@Zerquix18 how about setDestinationMoon() or moonVoyage()?

goto(10) because "moon" is enumerated as unsigned int somewhere else, to keep it simple and efficient.

There's only one language that this should've been written in.

I think Swift will be a better choice

Java, maybe?!

WhiteSPACE could be a good idea too.

Has to be Erlang OTP - & having some of those interrupt service routines being carried out within concurrent erlang processes => multiple control operations taking place at the same time :)

I think they already tried PHP for Apollo 13 but the mission didn't go too well due to some confusion over function arguments order, or something...

@borfast - what I heard was it had to do with nameSPACEing - not function argument order. The function argument theory was easily discounted when they discovered who was in the left hand seat at the time of stir. Or was it the right hand seat? I any case I am sure order is irrelevant.

Could call the function time.addTicket ("Moon"), though that may only work for routings via Satellite 2.
