NASA created retro travel posters for different locations in our solar system in hopes of inspiring young people to imagine a future where common space travel is a possibility.
We haven’t done a #wcw in a while, so let’s take a moment to recognize Margaret H. Hamilton. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, by President Barack Obama, yesterday. Hamilton led the team that created the on-board flight software for #NASA’s #Apollo command modules and lunar modules. A mathematician and computer #scientist who started her own software company, Hamilton contributed to concepts of asynchronous software, priority scheduling and priority displays, and human-in-the-loop decision capability, which set the foundation for modern, ultra-reliable software design and engineering.
