Easy for him to say
When men were men !!!
Totally unrelated, but from these backroom scenes, we can see how many people are working for the moon landing program. There must be hundreds of people for mission control alone. And then thousands of engineers and workers who built the rockets, landers, modules, and everything in between. That is how HUGE the Apollo Program was back then.
All that said, how anybody still believes moon landing was faked is beyond me.
I also love how they all shut up when one is talking because they understand how serious it is.
That is how you solve a problem.
I'm reading Kranz's memoir "Failure is Not an Option." At one point he remarks the Space program felt similar to planning the D-Day Invasion, which is altogether fitting because when that was going on, General Eisenhower declared "We cannot afford to fail."
"Gentlemen, that's not acceptable" and "… not on my watch. Failure is not an option"… damn what great lines.
Everything 👁️🥸👁️😂😂😂👍🏼
Of all of the characters of the story, the entire ground crew are the real heroes here.
The guy who played John was great in every scene he was in.
Gene is right Failure is Not An Option
It was a damn robbery that Ed Harris didn’t win an Oscar for this movie
Blessed be the holy name of God
The problem with "Failure is not an option" is that the Apollo 13 mission presented a difficult challenge to NASA, but one that was possible to overcome and left ample time for Kranz and his team to work out a solution. The "Failure" meme creates the impression that NASA at the time of Challenger or Columbia weren't as committed to saving their astronauts' lives, and could have saved them if they'd really wanted to. I don't think that's fair. Once Challenger was launched, it was doomed, and there was nothing the rest of the NASA team could do to save the crew. The decision to launch was to blame for the tragedy, but once it was made, the other NASA employees were out of the equation. With Columbia too, there was no obvious sign of a problem; only a clue that was hardly definitive. Unlike Apollo 13, where the explosion and loss of control made it clear as day that they had a major problem on their hands, Columbia's damage didn't announce itself; and only seemed obvious in retrospect. There's really almost no circumstance involving technology, physics, and human beings where failure isn't an option.
Feel is net action
Ron Howard is to be commended for directing this magnificent picture. He was very concerned that the film be truthful to the actual events and boy, he succeeded!
Back when America was great
Gotta love how he listens to the guy with the facts, not the guys with the "buts" and "ifs".
Blessed be the Holy name of God
Now, if we only had DEI in this group………wait..
if this happened now in the US government, these astronauts would be dead. No leadership today! no intelligent people in the government!
Prison 12 amps
Lol I remember when they originally uploaded this they cut off the damn defining line!
range division
That white vest 🤌. Gene had swag
Anyone else watch this scene hopung he would give them all a reasonable time period apporpriate varie t of the kranz dictum speech?????
Our finest hour
You wont find leaders like this nowadays
"We've never lost an American in space…" Note this distinction. Yes, we've lost like 3 crews since we started exploring outside Earth's atmosphere, but it was always on the way up or re-entering the atmosphere.
All of the actors except for Ed Harris look like men from the 90s who were made up (albeit, well) to look like they were from the late 60s/early 70s. He looks like a man who was living in that time and was plucked out of it to participate in this movie
There is no such thing as: "there are no colored bathrooms around for me to use, I have to run to the other building". Just men solving issues!
Clearly some of you people have never watched an asteroid movie before…
“I want people in the simulators” (engineer leaves for the simulator without hesitating) . Great detail
Congrats to ISRO on their south pole moon landing. You guys nailed it.
Ed Harris is an amazing actor who commits to his characters and to his craft 100%.
if this was created today under Netflix. half of those Enginners will be Black the other half women and the dumbest will be a white male
Chandrayaan-3 successfully landed on moon 😎😎😎😎😎 congratulations india 🇮🇳
