For anyone interested there is going to be a documentary on the History channel called Failure is Not an Option. It's based off of the book by Gene Kranz. It will be on on Sunday August 24 @ 9PM/8C. For more info go to http://www.historychannel.com/option/.

I watched it last night. It was great. I would have done a few things differently if I were producing, but it was fabulous. That's the NASA I want to work for.

But that NASA doesn't exist anymore. I would have wanted to work in MOCR during Mercury-Apollo. That is my element. These days, its just not the same.

Its not the same, but you gotta admit, it still would be cool to work in MOCR today. I know i want to.

Hey there is notheing wrong with non space history shows. But anyway it was a good program and last night they had a Modern Marvels on the history of the shuttle columbia from conception to destruction. It was also very intresting. If its on again and i'm guessing it probably will be over the weekend watch it if you get the chance.

Yes, I saw Failure is not an Option and the documentary on Columbia. Both shows were very good. I learned a lot from them. There was lots of information you got first hand from those in MOCR. I thought it was amazing.
