#moonlanding

Vale Margaret Hamilton. She was a Software Engineer. She was the _first_ Software Engineer because she defined the term, Software Engineering: "When I first came up with the term, no one had heard of it before, at least in our world. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. It was a memorable day when one of the most respected hardware gurus explained to everyone in a meeting that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an engineering discipline, just like with hardware. Not because of his acceptance of the new 'term' per se, but because we had earned his and the acceptance of the others in the room as being in an engineering field in its own right." Margaret Hamilton led the Software Engineering team at MIT that created the software that ran NASA's Apollo Guidance Computer. The photo of her standing next to a stack of source code printouts — that's her work, and she was essential to NASA's mission of landing people on the Moon for the first time ever and getting them back to Earth again safely. Margaret Hamilton, computing pioneer who led software development for the Apollo program, dies at 90 https://news.mit.edu/2026/margaret-hamilton-computing-pioneer-dies-1007 #MargaretHamilton #SoftwareEngineer #SoftwareEngineering #ComputerScience #NASA #MIT #Apollo #MoonLanding

Fifty-seven years ago tonight. 400,000 people worked for a decade to put two sets of bootprints somewhere other than here... and the world was never the same. 'You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the Moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, “Look at that, you son of a bitch.”' -- Edgar Mitchell, LM pilot, Apollo 14, quoted in People (magazine), 8 Apr 1974. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrzeFNEv150 #space #Apollo11 #moon #MoonLanding #OverviewEffect

Happy #MoonLanding Day 🌜

So I watched this documentary about Kubrick and one person in it was convinced he proved the moon landings were faked by Kubrick. What do people make of that? He doesn't say people didn't go to the moon, just the moon footage is fake. #MoonLanding #TheMoonLandingIsFake #AskFedi

The thing is, I kinda want the moon landing footage to be fake because it would be really interesting to read how they created the movie effects. #MoonLanding #Kubrick

It warms my heart to know that the science activities taking place on #Artemis2 #Orion are absolutely going to forever live rent free in the vacuous heads of the #FlatEarth and #MoonLanding deniers! 🌕🌓🌑

First Moon landing in 53 years. Historic achievement. Humanity's greatest moment. Launched on April Fools' Day. During an unpopular war. While the world is focused on Epstein. And not a single independent satellite from China, Russia, or India saw anything. The silence from Moscow and Beijing is deafening. They have cameras over Florida. They show empty sky. But NASA has beautiful videos. Very beautiful. The most beautiful videos. This is not skepticism. This is pattern recognition. https://newsgroup.site/artemis-ii-moon-mission-crew-april-2026/ #MoonLanding #Artemis #NASAFAKE #AprilFools #Conspiracy #USA #Moon #Space
