    1. A literal trailblazer, the software she and her team wrote was so robust it’s a huge reason why the moon landing was a success, peak brilliance

    2. “Thats what I need now, a long convoluted math equation showing why it would not work out between us” would be my thinking back then if i though about asking this girl out for coffee.

    3. Hamilton led the team at MIT that designed the software, she did not design it herself alone. She had a major hand in it and deserves plenty of credit, but not all the credit. It was a team effort and that should be remembered.
