in a better world, we tear down a statue of a Confederate general in the town square, and replace it with a statue of Margaret Hamilton.

There should be a whos who of contributions to NASA by women. Loved the movie Hidden Figures.

The photo of her standing next to the printout of her code that ran the space vehicles was cooler. She wrote the whole thing herself.

The Apollo 11 lunar-module code is preserved by Virtual AGC, transcribed from the MIT Museum's printout. You can browse the original page images alongside the code, including the restart routines: www.ibiblio.org/apollo/listi...

Rest in peace you cool lady!

Saw a documentary about her on Youtube. She was exceptional, and a visionnary…All the while fighting old white men in authority at NASA to get her point across. She SAVED Apollo 11 from desaster.

Awesome!!

Loved her in Wizard of Oz.

RIP beautiful, a most intelligent woman..

by a strange coincidence, i am wearing my NASA "meatball" logo t-shirt today. a guy stopped me at the grocery store and asked if i was affiliated with NASA (i'm not). he told me his dad worked on Apollo! and we had this long, heartwarming conversation about NASA. come home to this news. RIP 💔

Margaret Hamilton is an engineering hero! Up there with Ada Lovelace and Grace Hopper 🫡
