“The historic Apollo moon missions are often associated with high-visibility test flights… But intricate, challenging handiwork — comparable to weaving — was just as essential to putting men on the moon… the Navajo women who assembled state-of-the-art integrated circuits for the Apollo Guidance Computer… who wove the computer’s core memory.”
