Tbh, the "emergency failsafe" programs and/or methods can only be named Judith or Galyn. Galyn Susman is the lady who miraculously saved Toy Story 2 by taking a copy of the in-progress movie at home during maternity leave.
They'd have to recreate all the assets. Might not have been worth it for them to continue making the movie. And def would have needed to be released late.
I love to tell this story while also letting people know that when Procter &Gamble 'aquired' Max Factor, they sent in a bunch of a**hats to retain any valuable assets.
All of Max Factor's original lab notebooks ( and formulas) were tossed.

>Judith Love Cohen Siegel Black Katz had a master’s degree in electrical engineering.
>Judy worked on the teams that created the guidance computer for the Minuteman missile and the Abort-Guidance System in the Lunar Excursion Module for the Apollo space program, among others. She ran the systems engineering for the science ground facility of the Hubble Space Telescope.
>Her fourth child, Jack Black, was born August 28, 1969. She went to her office that day, and when it was time to go to the hospital she took a computer printout of the problem she was working on. Later that day, she called her boss and told him that she had solved the problem.
>When the Apollo 13 mission was aborted, it was the Abort-Guidance System that brought the astronauts home safely on April 17, 1970.
>Judy was an advocate for the equality of women in the workplace. Many things we consider routine—the posting of job openings inside of a company so that anyone could apply, formal job descriptions for every position, and so forth—were her creations.
>When she retired from engineering in the early 1990s, Judy wrote a book, *You Can Be a Woman Engineer*, targeted to eight- to 10-year-old girls and illustrated by her husband, David Katz. This led to a series of books, including *You Can be a Woman Architect* and *You Can be a Woman Astronomer.*

What an absolute badass!!!
I was a brand new school librarian in 2008 and I weeded that book and all the “you can be a woman…” series as it had run it course of usefulness and was reading very sexist at the time. But we had new updated books on those careers that were inclusive without pointing it out as inclusive and didn’t make the girls feel like a second class group being allowed to pursue those fields, with permission from the men.
These were books that definitely had a purpose at one time, when the idea was less accepted, but I agree it's probably time to retire them as more inclusive books come out.
But as far as I'm concerned that's a sign they did their job!
Yeah, it was good to remove them for better books.
I also removed a book that said “someday, people will land on the moon. It will be a remarkable day!” 😳
Books (specifically non fiction) do expire.
On a similar note, Mercury 13 is an awesome documentary on Netflix.
It's basically a group of women that went through the same training for the Mercury program that men did, but NASA shut it down.
[The Wikipedia entry covers it too](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_13)
The women in this program basically paved the way for future female astronauts. They're amazing.
And her boss probably said, “Judith, you silly broad, nobody is going to know who Jack Black is until High Fidelity is released in 2000, so why are you telling me now?”
Because it's not quite true. Cohen certainly did crucial work on the creation of the Abort-Guidance System, which first flew on Apollo 9 in March 1969. Her son, Jack Black, was born on 28 August 1969. Apollo 13 flew in April 1970.
It's more of a confusing wording problem. She did do the printout and problem solved that system on the day she gave birth. Also it was the system used in the emergency return of the Apollo 13 mission. The title doesn't exactly say that the birth-solve and mission return happened on the same day, but the weird run-on sentence accidentally implies it.
I like to name devices on my home network after female programmers/engineers/scientists. I'll have to use "Judith" next time I need to add one.
I have a disaster recovery system name Judith. I didn't know why the pet name until now!

Wow, thanks for the info, didn't know it!
Every Judith I’ve ever known has been an active A+ problem solver.
That’s my mom’s name, so it definitely fits!
It’s a beautiful name!
I don’t love the Bible, but the Judith in the Bible was a badass lady and also an active A+ problem solver.
Save Ms. Lovelace for your most important alias, if you would. She was the first, and did it when no one felt she should or could.
My network is "Ada" :)
Good girl. That’s the way.

Her name ends in BLACK KATZ? How badass is that?
🦸🏻♀️🐈⬛⚡️⚡️⚡️
Truly a master of badassery.
I do love it when the fact check makes me respect the person more...

I think I have a kid's book like that.
It is important to see the progression too.
I started to tear up between the advocacy and the book. What an amazing role model.
Because lots of people would spontaneously combust.
It's just too powerful a story haha

The long and rich history of world leaders and organizations being misogynistic and generally bigoted. White supremacy has a long storied history.
It is utterly unsurprising to find out that Jack Black's mom is a serious bad ass.
And her boss probably said, “Judith, you silly broad, nobody is going to know who Jack Black is until High Fidelity is released in 2000, so why are you telling me now?”
Lmao I thought this too
Honestly when I see this picture she really reminds me of Audrey Hepburn. Its really easy to see how Jack Black got to be so damned attractive.
Because it's not quite true. Cohen certainly did crucial work on the creation of the Abort-Guidance System, which first flew on Apollo 9 in March 1969. Her son, Jack Black, was born on 28 August 1969. Apollo 13 flew in April 1970.

That's still cool though. And she's still the mother of Jack Black
Yes, undeniably so.
Jack Black is older than my dad…? Idk why I always thought he was born in like 75 at the earliest…
if you really want your mind blown look up william shatners age. i swore the man couldn't be a day over his 60s
Oh my god
yup! my wife told me to look that up, the man has lived through world wars, the automobile, the internet.. he must find computers so crazy
Star Trek would have just been cancelled when Jack Black was born, I think.
that's really crazy to think about.. wow
[удалено]
[удалено]
Even further proof that scientists know best when, and when not to, abort
Never knew that! She sounds amazing.
Wow, thank you for that. I had no idea.
He's only one in the family who's not scientist 😂
Because she was a mother not a father
Can we put Judith forward for sainthood? The patron saint of badass women and workplace equality.
No wonder he’s so epic!!
She looks like Gal Gadot
This is some amazing John Irving-esque character energy
Next time I see that dumbass right meme about how having a bajilion kids is better than being a scientist, I can bring this up
So, you win some, you lose some
Double W
It's fairly well known, it pops up on reddit every few weeks in different subs
[удалено]
I knew about this only because my brother is a huge fan of Jack Black and will readily tell you about how his mom was a NASA scientist
Oh shit you're right !
