Lesser known: Before NASA and the Apollo program, Margaret Hamilton worked with mathematician and meteorologist Edward Lorenz.
From 1959-1961 she programmed weather simulations on his LGP-30 computer. Those projects were the precursors to his famous 1963 paper that marked the birth of chaos theory.

  @mcnees GDNDNDNRLN please tell me there‘s an autobiography or something like that somewhere? Hamilton‘s entire path just keeps being more and more awesome.
