You had me going there... I thought you were referring to the Wicked Witch of the West. She was flying before NASA was even dreamed of ?

Is she the women portrayed in the movie,"Hidden Figures"? An excellent movie.

Yes great movie but nope. That was before the IBM computer and only to launch a person in orbit. IBM took over calculations after that. Margaret was instrumental to land a man on the moon and programming the orbiter and capsule.

@Lukian thanks for the clsrification
