Episode 57 - Margaret Hamilton and “Mad” Jack Churchill
Chris learns all about “Mad” Jack Churchill who was a British Army officer during World War II. Jack is famous for playing his bagpipes on the front-lines and taking out a German solider with his longbow. Jack passed away peacefully at home at the age of 89 years old in 1996, but what a life he led! Harrison meanwhile discovered the impact that Margaret Hamilton had on NASA. Margaret was the first recognised software engineer in the 1960s and blazed a trail in the computing industry, especially at a time when hardware was considered far more important than software.
