Product details
A rich, behind-the-scenes account of the experts who held the lives of America's first astronauts in their hands.
About the Author: Eugene F. Kranz joined the NASA Space Task Group in 1960 and served as the deputy flight director for the Mercury project (the original manned spaceflight missions). He continued his role as flight director for the Apollo 11 moon landing. He is a co-recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his work leading the Apollo 13 teams. "Failure Is Not an Option" is his first book. He lives with his family near Houston, Texas.
Chapter One: The Four-Inch Flight
"Houston, we have a problem." At some point during the hours that followed this terse announcement from Apollo 13, many of us at the NASA Mission Control Center wondered if we would lose the crew. Each of us had indelible memories of that terrible day three years prior.
