At first, Thompson used Bell Labs’ GE645 to cross-compile the Space
Travel program for the PDP-7. But soon—rationalizing that it would be
faster to write an operating system for the PDP-7 than developing Space
War on the comfortable environment of the GE645—Thompson had written
an assembler, file system, and minimal kernel for the PDP-7. All to
play Space Travel. Thus Unix was brewed.
