Tomas Kapler wrote that the woman died on September 30, 2026, in a hospital in Cambridge at the age of 90. According to him, MIT announced her death on October 7 and did not disclose the cause. He stated that she is survived by her daughter Lauren, son-in-law, two grandsons, four great-grandchildren, and siblings John, David, and Kathryn. In the obituary, the institute referred to her as more than just a pioneer. Kapler also described that the computer reported an overload three minutes before landing on the Moon, not a malfunction, and thanks to the design of the system, it safely deferred some tasks. According to him, few in the lab initially believed in this concept, but it proved itself during the landing. He also wrote that the woman advocated for the foundations of reliable programming and a safety net allowing for landing despite a software error, even though she was initially only allowed to make a note in the manual. #ZenyVeVede #Veda #Historie (translated)
Tomas Kapler wrote that the onboard computer reported an overload three minutes before landing on the Moon and that a landing failure was imminent. According to him, the computer deferred all tasks that were not essential for the crew's survival. Kapler stated that this logic was advocated by a woman who was previously told that a trained astronaut would not make such a mistake. He added that the media reported her death the previous day and that the series Women in Science would commemorate her life and achievements. #ŽenyVeVědě #Měsíc #Inovace (translated)
