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)
