    Margaret Hamilton didn’t write the code by hand and it was written by her and her team. She is still an amazing engineer, but let’s not make stuff up.

      But she did review the code. It was all in one PR so her only comment was “LGTM”

        Too bad emojis hadn’t been invented, else it would have been “LGTM 👍”

        (and the mainframe would have exploded, for lack of unicode support)

      She is from North Macedonia, deep balkan. Most places of the world are better than there, if you are looking for a professional carreer

      I feel like it’s just her piling her work (unrelated to the green card) to demonstrate it and not necessarily the process itself?

      But in all honesty, that’s just my understanding of the picture, I have no idea how that process works.

        I needed more than a binder’s worth for a student visa turned spousal visa in Germany, I can believe a hyper specific visa needing this much documentation.

      Most of the world if that’s all it took (circa 2024 at least). The US isn’t the best place to live, and it’s worse than places like Western Europe or the Nordics, but to someone from a third world country it’s still much better than what they can get at home.

        The hourly rates are what entices them, much more than they could earn in a month. Why some are willing to do tedious dirty work that others push away.

    What does the International Space Agency do? They don’t seem to be listed on wikipedia, and I just see things calling the woman on the left an “analog astronaut” with her in a spacesuit on earth

      Yes, wtf is an analog astronaut. I used to play a lot of Kerbal Space Program, am I a digital astronaut?

      All I can find about her is interviews with her, no secondary sources. In one she says she is the founder of International Space Agency. Sounds like a media hack to spice up her resume (and green card documents…)

      The source is her fb page here as well.

      I found this:

      The analog astronautic missions prepare us for future explorations of asteroids, the Moon, Mars and other planetary bodies.

      A the moment I’m serving as science officer in the 14th mission at the University of North Dakota (UND) Inflatable Lunar-Mars Analog Habitat (ILMAH) financed by NASA. We are “locked down” for 21 days, completely cut off from the world with with an appropriate time lag of 20 minutes each way, to account for the 63.4-million-mile distance between Earth and Mars.

        Analogue missions are missions that simulate some aspect of the off-planet living conditions here.

        I talked for a while with these guys (who are students, but still seem pretty serious), they had a stand at a convention I visited, they use a tunnel in the alps to simulate a habitation module:

        https://make.epfl.ch/projects/25/association-asclepios-mission-25

        Analogue missions seem like a legitimate contribution to the success of real missions to me, you gotta test both psychological effects and the functionality of prototype devices somehow.

        It says it right there, they do simulations and fun little LARPs on Earth to figure shit out.

          I found that later, forgot to add some “edit:”.

          But she tries to present herself as someone on the levels of Einstein, but she is just a university student who got some internship in a nasa project.

    This is stupid and boring. A person’s academic prowess should not enable them to migrate and this feels tangentially related to present anti immigrant sentiment while being unable to rebuff prejudice of the masses. A single person is always meaningless.

    Edit: Also appealing to the laurels of the past by producing a stack of papers is just… Weird.

      i truly see no way to interpret this image as “anti immigration”, it is comparing paper stack size to show how ridiculous it is just to enter one part of the earth.

      also, academic prowess (when thinking about immigration through a bourgeoisie perspective) is one of the best measures of immigration status due to percieved financial gain.
