Quotes

  Narrator: They took men into space, but never left the earth. They
flew every flight, from right here on the ground.
Gene Kranz: We had to pull missions literally out of the fire, make
the right things happen, and bring these crews back home.
Narrator: They are the men of Mission Control, engineers who took the
dream of spaceflight and made it reality.
Ed Fendell: You just didn't say, "We can't do this, we can't do
that." You made it happen.
Gene Kranz: You cannot operate in this room unless you believe you're
Superman, and whatever happens you're capable of solving the
problem.
Narrator: At any other time, these men would have had unremarkable
careers. Now, world events have put them at the center of a
desperate struggle. Few will ever be known to the public, but they
will become the unsung heroes of the race to the Moon.
Narrator: [referring to Freedom 7] Shepard's flight will last only 15
minutes, but it's 15 minutes of pure unknowns, and the future of
the entire program is riding on the outcome.
Gene Kranz: Shepard's flight was literally fraught with danger, and
it was the one that we had to make happen if we were to keep moving
forward in space.
Gene Kranz: [about President Kennedy's goal to put a man on the moon
by 1970] I couldn't believe it. This whole idea of doing it before
this decade is out is absolutely ludicrous. And then, you think
about it a little bit more, and you get away from the initial
impressions, and you say, holy cow. What a challenge, what a job.
This guy trusts us, when we haven't been able to put a man in
orbit.
Gene Kranz: When you step into that console, you accept the
responsibility for the life of the crew, the success of the
mission, and you're doing it in full view of the entire world.
Gene Kranz: [referring to President Kennedy] After his assassination,
it moved from being a challenge to literally a crusade. This was
now our mission to win this battle, for President Kennedy. It was
visceral, it was gut, we are going to do it, and we're the right
people to do it, and we're going to do it in the time frame he said
we'll do it.
John Aaron: I was trying to build up a herd of heifers, 'cause I
thought I wanted to be a rancher. A friend says, "Why don't you
send in an application?" So the next thing I knew, they didn't even
grant me an interview, they sent me a job offer, for more money
than a country boy had ever seen by the way. I'll never forget what
it was, it was 67 70. 6770 dollars a year.
