Description

A true story from one of the crucial Women of NASA!

Margaret Hamilton loved numbers as a young girl. She knew what number of miles it used to be to the moon (and what number of back). She loved studying algebra and geometry and calculus and the usage of math to solve problems within the out of doors world.

Soon math led her to MIT after which to helping NASA put a man at the moon! She handwrote code that would allow the spacecraft’s computer to solve any problems it could encounter. Apollo 8. Apollo 9. Apollo 10. Apollo 11. Without her code, none of those missions could have been completed.
 
Dean Robbins and Lucy Knisley deliver a good looking portrayal of a pioneer in her field who never stopped reaching for the stars.
