Margaret Heafield Hamilton was born on August 17, 1936 and has a long list of accomplishments. She is a computer scientist, a systems engineer, and a business owner. She's also the woman who got man to the Moon. After graduating from Hancock High School in 1954, she studied mathematics at the University of Michigan in 1955 and subsequently earned a B.A. in mathematics with a minor in philosophy from Earlham College. She cites a female math professor as helping her desire to pursue abstract mathematics. Next she accepted a job at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At MIT she began programming software to predict the weather and did postgraduate work in meteorology. Hamilton then joined the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory at MIT, which at the time was working on the Apollo space mission. She eventually led a team credited with developing the software for Apollo and Skylab. Hamilton herself specifically concentrated on software to detect system errors and to recover information in a computer crash. Both those elements were crucial during the Apollo 11 mission (1969), which took astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to the Moon. Hamilton recently stated, “From my own perspective, the software experience itself (designing it, developing it, evolving it, watching it perform and learning from it for future systems) was at least as exciting as the events surrounding the mission...There was no second chance. We knew that. We took our work seriously, many of us beginning this journey while still in our 20s. Coming up with solutions and new ideas was an adventure. Dedication and commitment were a given. Mutual respect was across the board. Because software was a mystery, a black box, upper management gave us total freedom and trust. We had to find a way and we did. Looking back, we were the luckiest people in the world; there was no choice but to be pioneers.” Hamilton left MIT in the mid-1970s to work in the private sector. On November 22, 2016, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President Barack Obama. #herstory #timeless
