Burn Baby Burn
In this week's episode, I am joined by Mr. Charalampos Theopemptou to explore a key moment in space history where Margaret Hamilton's pioneering software engineering prevented potential disaster during the Apollo 11 mission. We also touch on the dawn of computing in Cyprus, weaving the past with our present endeavors to inspire more women to join and lead in technology.
The Grand Tour of the solar system
In this episode, a very special guest, my Michalis, joined me to tell him about the women who programmed the course of the spacecraft that went on the greatest voyage of exploration in human history. This robotic spacecraft travels at 17 kilometers per second and it’s more than 24 billion kilometers away into the interstellar space. It left Earth more than 46 years ago, in 1977. This spacecraft is the farthest human-made object from Earth and it has the name … Voyager 1.
Pickering's Harem
Before computers were machines, they were women. These women mapped out the universe, invented the modern science of astronomy, decrypted Nazis' messages, and helped airplanes and missiles fly! With the help of Antigoni we delve into their lives.
Σφαλμα 1202 (Greek/Ελληνικά)
Μαζί με την Ελένη μιλάμε για το φεγγάρι, διαστημικές αποστολές, πως ένα κοριτσάκι που ήθελε να το παίξει αστροναύτης έσωσε τη ζωή πραγματικών αστροναυτών, χειρισμό σφαλμάτων και πως το programming έγινε software engineering. Αυτή είναι η ιστορία της Margaret Hamilton.
Το χαρεμι του Pickering (Greek/Ελληνικά)
Μαζί με την Αντιγόνη μιλάμε για το σύμπαν, κομήτες, χαρέμια, το Β' Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και πολλά άλλα. Μιλάμε για όλους τους "υπολογιστές", πριν οι υπολογιστές ήταν μηχανές αλλά γυναίκες.
