This code is not by Margaret Hamilton and it&amp;#x27;s not from 1969.&lt;p&gt;Margaret Hamilton has stated that her first assignment was the abort code FORGETIT in the Apollo 5 program Sunburst, and this exact single-precision sine&amp;#x2F;cosine routine already existed in Aurora [an earlier version of the software] earlier than March 1966 -- FORGETIT wasn&amp;#x27;t added to Sunburst until later that year (maybe October-November).&lt;p&gt;Source: I talked to people who have researched the Apollo code in detail. For more information on the Apollo software releases, see: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ibiblio.org&amp;#x2F;apollo&amp;#x2F;Luminary.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.ibiblio.org&amp;#x2F;apollo&amp;#x2F;Luminary.html&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
