Stuart Roosa was an American astronaut, test pilot, and U.S. Air Force pilot best known for his role as the Command Module Pilot on the Apollo 14 mission. Born August 16, 1933, in Durango, Colorado, he graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering.

While Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell walked on the moon's surface during Apollo 14, Roosa remained in lunar orbit aboard the Command Module "Kitty Hawk", conducting experiments and taking photographs.

Roosa retired from NASA and the Air Force in 1976, entering the business world. He passed away on December 12, 1994, due to complications from pancreatitis.
