I loved biographies! This one is about someone I’d never heard of – Margaret Hamilton. Margaret grew up learning to think differently, to find answers no one else could. It led her into software when computers were the size of a classroom. Margaret started at NASA back in 1964. Her dream was to use computers to get us to the moon. Her strategy – to think of everything that could go wrong, then work back through those problems. Read this book to find out how Margaret helped the Apollo program make it to the moon!
