Here is the latest tweet from NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration)

"Landing on the Moon took bravery, nerve and... new math! To do it, we invented powerful equations that helped computers of the era process vast amount of data. Today, this approach is used across our lives, including directing air traffic in our busy skies", tweeted NASA.
