"The historic Apollo moon missions are often associated with high-visibility
test flights, dazzling launches and spectacular feats of engineering. But
intricate, challenging handiwork — comparable to weaving — was just as
essential to putting men on the moon. Beyond Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and a
handful of other names that we remember were hundreds of thousands of men and
women who contributed to Apollo over a decade. Among them: the Navajo women who
assembled state-of-the-art integrated circuits for the Apollo Guidance Computer
and the women employees of Raytheon who wove the computer’s core memory."
