<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have taken Professor David Mindell/John Tylko’s STS471J “Engineering Apollo” Course (or just wish you had), you will have had the chance to meet Don Eyles, one of the most interesting computer scientists working at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory
(now Draper Laboratory). Eyles worked on the software for the lunar landing phase of the Moon mission and his memoir tells this story most effectively. It is also filled with insight, wit, and interesting commentary by the man
<i>Rolling Stone </i>described as the “Weird-Looking Freak” who “Save[d] Apollo 14.”
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As the flyer indicates, Eyles will be giving a talk at the MIT Museum next week (it is also the launch of the publication) beginning at 6 pm. </div>
