Thanks for sharing, will give it a listen.
Had the opportunity to visit with Gene twice. Waiting on airplane and was the only one that recognized him. He gave our daughters some cool patches.
He shared that Apollo 13 movie was very accurate from his perspective. Except the vest was on a hanger not in a box.

That's really cool. What kind of patches?

My first presentation made out of college was to Kranz. I can't recall the details, but we were trying to get a change made to something in the simulator. My boss said don't read your flip chat, he is capable of reading. Man, I was nervous and I really didn't know all his accomplishments at the time.
He is a true American hero.

Great listen! Just ordered his book. Thank you so much for sharing.
I read somewhere that Gerry Griffin's contributions to Apollo 13, among other missions, were every bit as critical as Gene Kranz's. Maybe it was Chris Kraft's book Flight.
Anyway I don't recall that it was derogatory towards Kranz necessarily. He was just saying that Griffin deserved just as much notoriety
