In 1969, mankind successfully left our atmosphere and landed on the Moon. It took the hard work of countless men and women to make that landing happen. One of those people was Margaret Hamilton. A computer engineer, young Hamilton was hired to develop the completely new software used in the groundbreaking Apollo Space Program. Soon she was the lead engineer, one of the few women in the almost entirely male-dominated profession. It wasn't always easy. In this work, science writer and journalist Richard Maurer dives deep into the backstory of this extraordinary woman.
