I was also pleasantly surprised by the film, Mission Control, which focused on the mission control staff during the Apollo missions, rather than focusing on astronauts and scientists. Fascinating lessons in "ops management" embedded in the collective experiences of that staff. The film also has amazing production quality for reliving the struggles and successes of those missions, and especially how the suspenseful moments felt "on the ground".

- dmerrick 9y agoAgreed, this movie was excellent
- js2 9y agoYou would probably enjoy Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond by Gene Kranz.
- stefanpie 9y agoSecond this recommendation. Really opened my eyes up to the entire mission control teams who are just as involved as the astronaut in getting to the moon.
