In 1961, President Kennedy set a goal for the nation: beat the Russians to the Moon and do it within the decade. ln 1969, NASA met that goal--but no one defined what should happen next. As a growing number of poIitical, social, and economic probIems vie for the nation's attention and money, Congress, Presidents, and the pubIic aren't certain if manned space fIight is really worth the cost and risk. But for legendary fIight director Gene Kranz and the men and women of Mission ControI, there's no doubt. Despite waning pubIic support and shrinking budgets, they still have a job to do with no room for error. This feature-length sequeI to Failure Is Not an Option telIs the story of America's post-ApoIIo space program, from the point of view of the engineers ofMission Control. Through their experiences, we get a firsthand Iook at Iife inside Mission ControI, as these driven engineers continue to push the boundaries of space fIight from 1972 into the new century. |
