Gene Kranz is probably one of the most famous people from the Apollo moon landing era that wasn't an actual astronaut.In his book "Failure is not an option", Gene racants his memories from the era, starting off from when NASA was a fledgling operation, NASA Houston wasn't even built and Kennedy Space Center wasn't more than just an empty swampland to landing on the moon and final Apollo 17 mission.Gene details the problems encountered and what the early people of NASA had to overcome. There were no manuals back then, no procedures, nothing to base anything on as this was all brand new, never been done before so things had to be made up on the spot and revised over time. Since lives were depending on the procedures everything had to be correct first time around. Along with procedures for Mission Control, the global communications network had to be built, recovery procedures etc. etc.This is a totally engrossing tale of the hardships that the people at mission control went through, the problems that they encountered including the lightning strike on Apollo 12 and of course Apollo 13.One of the best Apollo era books I have read (and I have read quite a few).Recommended.
I wrote the book... it is the story of NASA's many finest hours as viewed from Mission Control .
Gene Kranz is one of the heroes of the American space race, known for showing extraordinary leadership of Mission Control through some of the most critical events of America's journey to put a man on the moon. His autobiography details his growth into his position, in parallel with the growth of America's space program. Its a fascinating account of one of the men who was quite literally writing the playbook for an incredible complex and dangerous exercise which had never before been attempted.Kranz speaks candidly about the challenges, successes and failures he and his team encountered as they grew the mission control center. His writing style is that of a military man and an engineer - his wording is often crisp, succinct, precise while lacking emotion. He also presumes some familiarity with the history of the space program, as he tends to dive into detailed accounts of each mission, without offering much in the way of background.For anyone interested in the space race, or especially anyone studying how one demonstrates exemplary leadership while facing never-before-seen challenges, Kranz's book is a must-read.
I've been reading space bios almost constantly for the last 8-9 years and this one remains my favorite, from the first chapter "The Four Inch Flight" to Gene's arrival at Patrick AFB to be greeted by Gordo Cooper in his Chevy convertible. Gene Kranz wasn't a by-the-book guy in the space program, he's one of the key people who wrote the book on flight control procedures. His passion for space exploration comes through in every word. The man in the white vest, who participated in some of the greatest events in history while the flyboys got all the glory. Absolutely essential for any space fan, whether you grew up with it as I did, or you're a kid that wants to go to Mars.
Gene Kranz is HILARIOUS!!! His telling of the early Space Program, and the people involved is VERY informative and shows hot just what was shown to the public at the time, but a excellent 'Behind the Curtain' of what it took to get off the ground with NASA!I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone that wants to know the Space Program in the United States went from President Kennedy's promise, to KEEPING that promise!!
As an airline pilot I have always had more than a casual interest in the US space program. Gene Kranz tells an amazing story of what is probably mankind's greatest accomplishment. A true leader, visionary and team player, Kranz takes you inside mission control and provides a front row seat to the 1960's space race. The "crew concept" so widely trained in commercial aviation today has its roots in our early space program. These incredible people didn't have a book to go by, so instead they wrote the book on space flight. Kranz does a good job of highlighting the risk/reward relationship of every decision. Despite already knowing the outcome of every mission, the story of each flight is gripping. I was surprised at just how many very close calls there were. These were truly brave people (and not just the astronauts) who came to work every day pushing the limits of man and our technology.More than just a historical chronology of each mission, Kranz does a respectable job of bringing out the human element and the many personalities involved, each of whom played a critical role in making key decisions. You really get an appreciation of the high stakes involved. Risk management is the name of the game and the stress never abates. Every aspect of every mission was clearly a team effort and compromises were necessary at every level. It was a special time and these were special people.Sadly, the book highlights just how far we have fallen as a nation of pioneers. Kranz observes that the 1960's opened with JFK's bold and visionary assertion that America was going to the moon and only a decade later Richard Nixon effectively gives the Apollo program it's obituary with a "thanks" to the astronauts who would likely be the last to walk on the moon that century. By 1973 the public was already becoming disinterested with space so the money, and the will, dried up. Gene Kranz does a convincing job of explaining the intangible benefits of leading the world in exploration and pushing into the universe beyond. I believe if more people read Failure is Not an Option, there would be a renewed interest in returning to space.As a side note, there are a lot of acronyms in the book, which is normal everyday fare in aviation, but for the uninitiated it can be a bit daunting. There is a handy appendix provided that will help you keep it all straight. You may not realize that it is there until you've finished the book, especially if you have the Kindle version.
