NASA Kept This Moon Discovery Classified… Until an Apollo 11 Engineer Exposed It

A four-year-old girl pressed a button in a Cambridge, Massachusetts laboratory in the mid-1960s and accidentally crashed the simulated Apollo spacecraft her mother was building the software for. Her mother stood there watching the simulation die, and instead of laughing it off, she did something almost nobody at NASA wanted her to do.
Three years later, on July 20th, 1969, that decision is the only reason Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin came home from the moon alive.
Her name is Margaret Hamilton. She is the woman who wrote the code that landed Apollo 11. She is the person who coined the phrase software engineering, because before her, what she did didn't have a name. And the story of what actually happened in the final three minutes of the lunar descent, the real story, the documented one, is more interesting than any of the conspiracy versions you've heard.
