RIP Margaret Hamilton, whose code saved the Apollo 11 Moon landing

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center Margaret Hamilton as a key software figure in the Apollo 11 story, with The Register and Ars Technica foregrounding the idea that her code helped save the Moon landing. PBS NewsHour differs by emphasizing her role as Apollo 11 software lead and adding biographical detail about her as a young mathematician at MIT and the first female programmer on the Apollo project. Ars Technica alone mentions that she coined “software engineering” and founded two software companies.
