Long before the birth of Python or JavaScript, Margaret Hamilton did the programming for the Apollo 11 mission.
Man would never have been able to walk on the moon if it hadn’t been for a woman: Margaret Hamilton, who corrected the programming for the Apollo 11 mission - by hand. She anticipated several malfunctions in the electronic components and made sure that the command module for the lunar landing remained functional. The success of the mission is entirely due to her and her work.

She coined the term “computer engineering”, a specialisation later recognised in its own right.
In 1986, she founded Hamilton Technologies, which developed a new programming language called the Universal Systems Language (USL)
She received the NASA Exceptional Space Act Award for scientific and technical contributions in 2003
