I really didn't know anything about this great man before reading this. And I really appreciate the link to those Youtube videos-they were great. I kept saying I would just watch one part more but then I couldn't stop and watched the whole thing. Thanks for this article! I really didn’t know anything about this great man before reading this.

He talked mostly of the Apollo 13 mission and our new endeavor with the Ares I rocket system. He is a great speaker and still rocks the flattop.

He had his sights first set on Mars but had to settle for the Moon. I think my girlfriend and I spent like 18 hours in front of a black and white tv waiting for that first step.... and then we heard about this little art and music festival being held in upstate NY at a place called Woodstock!

Worth noting Gene Kranz never said "failure is not an option"... The line came from the movie Apollo 13. He just liked how it embodied the spirit of those who worked on bring Apollo 13 to a safe return and adopted it for his book. Movie theatrics while historically inaccurate sometimes do match the spirit. Cool post.

I was a 10 year girl GLUED to the TV with millions others. I remember it VERY well. Chills ran through me, and I truly believed in my lifetime we'd be living on the Moon and exploring Mars. I still believe it'll happen, that it's just a matter of wanting it bad it enough and making the money available. I still struggle with the fact so many here on earth need that money for just survival here and balancing it all. That said, I now work for a federal agency and in my 20 years there have come to know a former mission control tech who still, to this day, when on the phone with me (he works for a 'mission control' of sorts for my agency's technical center) sounds like he's at mission control, talking in his business-like monotone voice, which makes me smile...
