Underneath the Giant Leap
Today I’m posting **“Underneath the Giant Leap”** in memory of Margaret Hamilton, whose extraordinary work helped take humanity to the Moon.
I wrote this song for her and for her counterpart Katherine Johnson — two women I deeply admire, working behind one of history’s most visible achievements.
One calculated the trajectories; the other helped build the software architecture that allowed the mission to survive the unexpected.
Their contribution deserves to be known far beyond science, engineering and space-history circles — by the general public who still remembers the giant leap.
This song is my way of bringing their names back underneath it.more
