Description: The veteran NASA flight director tells riveting stories from the early days of the Mercury program through Apollo 11 (the moon landing) and the near disaster of Apollo 13. Kranz was flight director for both. Kranz recounts these thrilling historic events and offers new information about the famous flights. What appeared as nearly flawless missions to the Moon were, in fact, a series of hair-raising near misses. When the space technology failed, as it sometimes did, the controllers’ only recourse was to rely on their skills and those of their teammates. He reveals behind-the-scenes details to demonstrate the leadership, discipline, trust, and teamwork that made the space program a success.
