This reading discusses the valuable contributions of Margeret Hamilton in the Apollo space mission and the field of software engineering. It is quite impressive to note that Hamilton was a working mother who worked days and nights to formulate the very software for the Apollo space missions. She faced deep skepticism and bias as a woman working in male-dominated fields, but she earned her righteous place among the others as a pioneer in the field of software engineering. It was interesting to see how the Apollo 8 mission astronauts once accidentally wiped out the navigational data, and how effectively she solved the problem with her team. Hamilton’s story inspired me in reflecting upon her values and mission as a woman in the male-dominated world of engineering and technology. She inspires everyone to step outside their comfort zones and experiment with curiosity. Her duality as a mother and a software engineer tells us that life can never give us setbacks, and it is up to us to overcome them. She inspires me to adopt her tactics of problem solving and team management and leadership in my life as well, adapting to these values and visions in the field of design and technology.
