    Margaret Hamilton didn’t write the code by hand and it was written by her and her team. She is still an amazing engineer, but let’s not make stuff up.

      But she did review the code. It was all in one PR so her only comment was “LGTM”

        Too bad emojis hadn’t been invented, else it would have been “LGTM 👍”

        (and the mainframe would have exploded, for lack of unicode support)

        If most places of the world are better, the question still is why the US?

        She could just used the open borders of the EU and moved by car to an even better place.

          Space infrastructure is the biggest there. Next may be Russia and China, Russian economy doesn’t look good nowadays and the Chinese language barrier is huge. EU and others are much more behind those 3.

          EU software engineer here: at least until recently, I would’ve preferred to work in the US too. Significantly better pay.

          Lady on the photo apparently is an astronaut. I’d wager NASA opportunities at the time were better than ESA.

          Edit: apparently an “analog” astronaut, so she does practice missions on Earth. Still, probably better opportunities in the US.

          US has good advertisement with “the american dream.” And hollywood.

          Also if you find out that’s bs through asylum you get an electronic bracelet and can’t leave until you after you settled down. So no Canada.

      I feel like it’s just her piling her work (unrelated to the green card) to demonstrate it and not necessarily the process itself?

      But in all honesty, that’s just my understanding of the picture, I have no idea how that process works.

      Most of the world if that’s all it took (circa 2024 at least). The US isn’t the best place to live, and it’s worse than places like Western Europe or the Nordics, but to someone from a third world country it’s still much better than what they can get at home.

        The hourly rates are what entices them, much more than they could earn in a month. Why some are willing to do tedious dirty work that others push away.

      Yes, wtf is an analog astronaut. I used to play a lot of Kerbal Space Program, am I a digital astronaut?

      All I can find about her is interviews with her, no secondary sources. In one she says she is the founder of International Space Agency. Sounds like a media hack to spice up her resume (and green card documents…)

      The source is her fb page here as well.

      I found this:

      The analog astronautic missions prepare us for future explorations of asteroids, the Moon, Mars and other planetary bodies.

      A the moment I’m serving as science officer in the 14th mission at the University of North Dakota (UND) Inflatable Lunar-Mars Analog Habitat (ILMAH) financed by NASA. We are “locked down” for 21 days, completely cut off from the world with with an appropriate time lag of 20 minutes each way, to account for the 63.4-million-mile distance between Earth and Mars.

        Analogue missions are missions that simulate some aspect of the off-planet living conditions here.

        I talked for a while with these guys (who are students, but still seem pretty serious), they had a stand at a convention I visited, they use a tunnel in the alps to simulate a habitation module:

        https://make.epfl.ch/projects/25/association-asclepios-mission-25

        Analogue missions seem like a legitimate contribution to the success of real missions to me, you gotta test both psychological effects and the functionality of prototype devices somehow.

          I found that later, forgot to add some “edit:”.

          But she tries to present herself as someone on the levels of Einstein, but she is just a university student who got some internship in a nasa project.
