Friday, April 28, 1989 / University Daily Kansan Moore travels globe in radar research - Continued from p. 17 Lighting a pipe he pulled from his desk drawer, Moore laughed about his South Pole trip. He and his research team had to stop in New Zealand, he said, to put on their winter gear: parkas, wool and gloves; heavy snow boots and thick gloves. "We had to put it on before we got back in the plane, and it was summer in New Zealand." Moore said. "It was prey warm until we got to the cabin." As he relighted his pipe, Moore said that he smoked because "it keeps your hands busy." Wilma, his wife of nearly 45 years, said she asked him to leave his pipe at home when they traveled. "Many people don't like pipe smoke, you know," she said. "But he usually takes it with him and studies it before deciding whether to light it." Moore's association with radar technology led him to found the remote sensing laboratory. He recalled the laboratory's beginning in the 1960s when he and a research team worked with NASA. At that time, Moore said, NASA primarily wanted to study the moon from a manned spacecraft that would circle it. He and his team contacted NASA and said they were interested in the project. In May of 1984, Moore's team traveled to the Air Force Cambridge Research Labs for a meeting with NASA representatives. "NASA didn't want the Air Force setting up the lab." Moore said. The lab has grown until many executives in the country's research and technological companies are former lab associates. Moore said. "Yeah, we've got lots of people around the country," he said. "But most of them don't have any money (to donate to the lab.)" As director of the lab, Moore said, he is associated in "an alliance of emperors." "Every professor has the right to be emperor of his own empire." he said. "The director doesn't have any authority over the faculty. I just: A. try to get people to get along, and sometimes it's pretty hard. B. coordinate a lab contact to outside sources." Colleen Dellwig, professor of geology, was one of the team members who helped find the lab. Dellwig said the laboratory never would have started without Moore. "Dick was the brains behind it," he said. "But I never felt pushed by him in work. That would have been like a baseball player, he played to a ball." Moore said he had not always wanted to be working in radar technology research. "I didn't have any such ideas as an undergraduate," he said. "But when I got into the Navy, I found I wanted to go to graduate school." After receiving his doctorate from Cornell University in 1951, Moore got into radar strictly by chance from the Air Force Corporation, Albuquerque, N.M. Sandia is a company that operates "Because all they do is classified, I didn't really know what I was going to work on when I went there, but I found out." Moore laughed when he remembered his Navy days. a research lab for the Department of Energy. Moe said he planned to retire in about five years when he would be 70 Dellwig said the laboratory would survive without Moore. Paula HofakeriKANSAN Denwigs said the not survive without Moore. "Nobody's really strongly interested in radar like he is," Dellwig said. "When we got back from the Pacific, a couple of guys who had been commanding officers of little landing ships and I went to San Francisco," he said. "But they were under 21, and they couldn't order drinks even though they had been commanding officers." Richard Moore Wilma Moore said she hadn't made plans yet for when Moore retired. when Moore reufted. "That seems so far off," she said. "But he has hobbies he'll work on. He has a sailboat and he is involved in amateur radio. And I imagine he'll continue to do something in his field." Moore said he planned to do just that "There are a lot of interesting things to do," he said. "Plans I proposed will be flown on space shuttle in 1991 and 1996. Its basically the same thing the team proposed back in 1965. It's amazing how slow the bureaucratic process is." Moore said he would also continue to study the polar ice caps. "If they melt, the coastal cities of this country will be under about 20 feet of water," he said. "That might not be such a bad thing." BIG SALE!
