Margaret Hamilton, computing pioneer who led software development for the Apollo program, dies at 90.
"Over two decades at MIT, Hamilton forged new paths in computer science and engineering. Her groundbreaking work included leading the team that programmed the first computers that took humans to the moon."
God speed, Margaret.
