Spartans of UDDick Koos
Dick Koos (C'57) played a critical role with NASA in the Apollo 11 mission as a simulation supervisor. With less than two weeks before Apollo 11's famed launch to the moon, during a simulation exercise, he intentionally triggered a simulated computer code alarm that had not been seen before by the Mission Control Center team. This simulation would later prove to be valuable as the same alarm went off during the actual landing mission. After 38 years working for NASA, he retired in 1998.
