Meet the woman who wrote the codes that took humanity to the Moon

The things you'll never find in some history books. The first person to reach the moon was celebrated, not the person who made it a reality, behind the scenes. Her name is Margaret Hamilton, a software engineer. And she wrote those codes reportedly by hand.

Sad that she was not recognized. She was the cornerstone of that project. Well done Ma'am. We hail you.

Mehn am so motivated with dis

Unknown said...

Wow!

Great achievement, but am sure if a man had wrote this codes, you wouldn't be posting it. A lot of code writers are not recognised, a lot of people who save lives and avert disasters are also not recognized, i.e CIA, Soldiers, Spies,Interceptors. If she wanted to be recognized,she should have gotten on the space shuttle and risked her life. Buzz Aldrin was 2nd to be on the moon by 2 munites,and he is barely remembered,all this femininistic agenda are starting to get annoying.

Yep, they cut us out of all the religious writings, they cut us out of our impact on the world. What's new, this has always been the case when you are a woman. Nice to see this brilliant woman finally getting her due.

It was Team work, Linda....not her work alone. In fact, Wikipedia which is the most basic source for such info never mentioned she wrote the software by hand.

Cases like these ought to inform Naija society to allow girls/women achieve their God-given potential. Had she been married off as a young or girl bride would she (Ms. Hamilton) have cracked the code that led to great discoveries for the world? Not likely.
