Gene Kranz: Role of a Flight Director

[@Dr_LK]

Legend of a man. Thank you for your service to humanity. I am not American but I am proud to be human, like Gene.

[@Etcher]

"Crisp, Correct, Concis, Convincing - the elements of effective communication". Love it Gene, you are a legend; an inspiration to me every day in my work

[@VAXHeadroom]

Gene Kranz is a world treasure. AND one of the most captivating speakers I've ever heard live. If there's more of this interview, please PLEASE give us an unedited version!

[@zacksweet17]

Here is another video they did with him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKitl3yeaauqo80

I just finished reading his autobiography. Wonderful book, wonderful man.

[@joshuanathanield.malong4925]

what's the title of the book?

[@rah1420usa]

“Failure is Not an Option”

[@tcmoore5970]

Now read his next book about leadership...Tough and Competent

[@Allenmarshall]

I'll read it. Thanks!

[@BariScienceLab]

Such an inspiring figure.

[@ianbcnp]

Good stuff but I'd be very happy with another hour of mission control and Gene Kranz. When I was 7 or 8 I thought he was the coolest guy on earth with the best job on earth!

[@15Stratos]

I tremendously hope that he lives long enough to watch the artemis programs thrive!

[@Allenmarshall]

Hello from 7 months in the future, I hope so too. We're almost there!

This man is a legend and a hero

[@risingbull84]

Gene is a legend!

[@19TheChaosWarrior79]

His Voice in the album Race For Space by Pubic Service Broadcasting is just perfect. His voice in my eyes is more famous than a certain Mr Armstrong's

[@TheElnots]

That man is a national treasure.

[@markdanielczyk944]

Mr. Kranz is a true legend!🇺🇸👍

[@LTDANMAN44]

all the great people involved with space come from OHIO. never forget us

[@Jake-rc4xi]

Gene Kranz coined the phrase "tough and competent", which became known as the "Kranz Dictum". His appearance would often consist of a close-cut flattop hairstyle and mission vests of a variety of different styles. His vests were created by his wife Marta Kranz.

[@leestebbins5051]

Not often, always a flattop.

[@lawrencestrabala6146]

Continue exploring space surrounding us . We need to know it.

If only NASA today had this drive and such a man as director... we would maybe on Mars by now..... Apollo was our crowning achievement as a race of people. 50 years + on... we do nothing but orbit ... we knew how to do that in the early 60's I saw some of that.... Its money ... and greed the advancement of humanity can only be gained if a monetary system isnt in place. We have resources to do much...., feed all...., provide energy , But we are stuck, it will be the downfall of this corrupt empire. I doubt we will ever land people on Mars... Star Ship is a joke.. and many people are getting sick and tired of this garbage. Get to space or not... explore with crewed space flight, or not.... DECIDE. AND DO IT.. or not. Stop justifying your existence by the premise of spending money to keep a program in place. Again Mr. Kranz.. if he is able should be back at NASA and kick their butts ! Maybe we will go somewhere.

[@ApolloKid1961]

Sadly he has passed away but don't forget the contribution of the father of Mission Control Chris Kraft.
