Margaret Hamilton's software engineering was essential to the success of the Apollo moon landings.

RIP Margaret Hamilton. A true icon of Software Engineering and Computer Science. She led the engineering and programming work for the flight computer software used in NASA's Apollo missions that successfully landed humans on the Moon in the late 60s. There's very few people I've truly admired in my life, and she is without a doubt one of them.

ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton. she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...
