Kubrick did actually film a fake version of the moon landing, but he was such a perfectionist that he made them film it on location ... thus making the fake moon landing real
I'm a little offended at referring to her as the director's assistant, given what she actually did. It could have been just as good a shitpost if she had been referred to as his screenwriter and not diminished how instrumental she was.
Fair point, even being a shitpost and all. I wanted to say lead writer + her name, but then it would have been hard to also mention Kubrick, making ppl realize the joke.
Regardless, she is an amazing person who achieved a lot already very young, and continued to do so. Btw she just turned 90 a day or two, that prompted me to create the post.
Don't forget the movie where he grows horns after his girlfriend dies. I was never a Daniel Radcliffe fan (never saw Harry Potter) until after he started making these fever dream movies. I love it.
If Kubrick had filmed a fake moon landing the conspiracy wouldn’t exist. The nimrods that believe that shit couldn’t begin to fathom how much of an insane perfectionist he was, he’d have created his own moon
I like your way of thinking here. I'm honestly not sure if the actual geologists working on lunar soil simulants today are more hardcore than Kubrick was back then.
With all the cuts to NASA and the American scientific enterprise generally, we could use this kind of angel perfectionist director these days. I wonder if Denis Villeneuve could be convinced to forget about Arrakis for a while and work closer to home...
Easy to confuse, but Judith Love Cohen was an electrical engineer who worked on the Apollo program, as well. She's credited with work that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts. She later became Jack Black's mom.

The connections she made on set are how Jack Black got his start Hollywood
I don't want to be that guy... however:
Fuck I knew she looked familiar
lol
She’s so fine
I wonder why that script could fill more than a dozen books. Must have been really long and complicated!
good one xD
As of 2026, Science has solved about half of the Van Allen Belt radiation problem for human space travel.
This is a photo of Margaret Hamilton the programmer standing next to the handwritten source codes for the Apollo navigation computers.

Yes, she just turned 90. Amazing career even after the Apollo program
She's also in a Lego set!
I think she was in the Barbie movie too
Looks like someone printed one JavaScript file from any modern website
Remember when Elon Musk bought Twitter and he asked for all the code to be printed out so he could 'assess' it? Lol. Good times.
That's just because they bundle it all into one file and minify it. In reality it's 7 billion files each exporting one 3 line function
I’m a web developer and I definitely don’t do this anymore. With http/2 there isn’t really a great reason to do this.
Rude, but correct.

In all seriousness, who was this really? Wasn't she some computer science pioneer or something?

Well, thats interesting too! And the shitpost still gave me a chuckle.
To think that two feminist icons would be named Margaret Hamilton
Oh, if her middle name was Alexandria
False, that's Daniel Radcliffe in one of his quirky post HP roles
Daniel Radcliffe's Agent: Okay, Harry Potter movies are done, you're rich and famous now! What do you wanna do next?
DR: GET NAKED WITH A HORSE
Agent: ... Okay, and after that?
DR: NAIL GUNS TO MY HANDS
Three words: Farting Corpse Buddy!

He wants to make and support weird art, he already has money.
Ah right, thanks!
She coined the term "software engineering," was the first software engineet, and also led NASA's software engineering division for the moon landing.
"engineet" you say ...
She led the team that did the code for the moon landing.
For a while this picture was used with a caption saying she wrote the whole thing by hand. What she did was impressive enough without needing to lie.
This is Chloe Sevigny reviewing the blow job scene in Brown Bunny.
This is a quality shitpost right here. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
See, it was a hoax. There's the script for the fake landing footage
We finally have proof
The proof was always the fumbled with "bringing back" rocks and not mizithra.
I didn’t know Capricorn-1 was a Kubrick movie, TIL.
All that work and Neil Armstrong STILL fluffed his lines!
You can tell they didn't have the money to do it for real
They're propping the door open with a coat rack

He'd have faked it, but he'd have insisted on filming on location to fake it
Exactly, Stanley did a lot of things, good and bad. But he wasn’t gonna half ass it that’s for fucking sure

How is that going to help with the NASA budget?
It won't, certainly not directly. It would help individual scientists if they can land funding from non-governmental sources, though.
That's the first draft script of 2001, as written by an old-fashioned AI 'expert system.'
Kubrik decided it was more cost-effective to just have HAL sing 'Daisy, Daisy.'
Real talk: I heard somewhere that this is Jack Black's Mom.
Easy to confuse, but Judith Love Cohen was an electrical engineer who worked on the Apollo program, as well. She's credited with work that saved the Apollo 13 astronauts. She later became Jack Black's mom.
She has such a cute smile lol
She's amazing
Interesting interpretation of this photo...
I heard there's a lost director's cut where Armstrong meets an alien
Is the alien made of rock?
That is not correct… that picture is ALL OF HER OWN ACCOMPLISHMENTS, not a movie script…
It's only one of her accomplishments. She has more.
You're in a shitposting community, most of us know who this is, all of us are aware that it's nonsense.
