This is a photo of Margaret Hamilton the programmer standing next to the handwritten source codes for the Apollo navigation computers.

Yes, she just turned 90. Amazing career even after the Apollo program
She’s also in a Lego set!
I think she was in the Barbie movie too
Kubrick did actually film a fake version of the moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist that he made them film it on location … thus making the fake moon landing real
This is a quality shitpost right here. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
If Kubrick had filmed a fake moon landing the conspiracy wouldn’t exist. The nimrods that believe that shit couldn’t begin to fathom how much of an insane perfectionist he was, he’d have created his own moon
He’d have faked it, but he’d have insisted on filming on location to fake it
Exactly, Stanley did a lot of things, good and bad. But he wasn’t gonna half ass it that’s for fucking sure
I like your way of thinking here. I’m honestly not sure if the actual geologists working on lunar soil simulants today are more hardcore than Kubrick was back then.
With all the cuts to NASA and the American scientific enterprise generally, we could use this kind of angel perfectionist director these days. I wonder if Denis Villeneuve could be convinced to forget about Arrakis for a while and work closer to home…
How is that going to help with the NASA budget?
It won’t, certainly not directly. It would help individual scientists if they can land funding from non-governmental sources, though.
That’s the first draft script of 2001, as written by an old-fashioned AI ‘expert system.’
Kubrik decided it was more cost-effective to just have HAL sing ‘Daisy, Daisy.’
The connections she made on set are how Jack Black got his start Hollywood
I don’t want to be that guy… however:
Fuck I knew she looked familiar
lol
Real talk: I heard somewhere that this is Jack Black’s Mom.
Easy to confuse, but Judith Love Cohen was an electrical engineer who worked on the Apollo program, as well. She’s credited with work that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts. She later became Jack Black’s mom.
She has such a cute smile lol
She’s amazing
Interesting interpretation of this photo…
She’s so fine
I wonder why that script could fill more than a dozen books. Must have been really long and complicated!
I heard there’s a lost director’s cut where Armstrong meets an alien
Is the alien made of rock?
good one xD
That is not correct… that picture is ALL OF HER OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not a movie script…
You’re in a shitposting community, most of us know who this is, all of us are aware that it’s nonsense.
It’s only one of her accomplishments. She has more.
