"Tough and confident. We must never stop learning to be able to do the job we are assigned to do." — Gene Kranz
On micro-management: [laughing] "I had to be smart enough to ask one good question, and move to the next important thing." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
"Data is what really happened. I learned to use the data to decide what questions to ask and the process of establishing what Controllers can decipher the data rapidly and grow with the total systems knowledge." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
How did you manage up?
"This is key to successful space flight operations. Clear responsibility to do whatever it takes for crew safety and mission success, that requires building the best team. Do we have enough data to continue?" — NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz

"Intense listening is the main lesson of my entire career. As a fighter pilot, I learned how to focus on things that relate to you and your teams success." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
OOOOH my question for Gene Kranz is next!!! http://ibm.co/academies
Q: What is your advice for new engineers in school today? Looking towards Artemis and Mars and beyond...
"Engineering students need to be able to work as a team and integrate laterally to solve problems together with deep technical skills" — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
Q: What do you think about current corporate approach for space exploration?
"Risk is the price of progress. But we have to have people who are able to manage risk and use those lessons to move forward." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
Q: What is the role of technology to success in space? #AI, storage, etc.
"Today's technology is key to the success of the mission to Mars. It is core to have systems integrated into the spacecraft capabilities; the same as tech embedded in mission control back home." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz on #Mars2020
My POV: Now, that's edge computing, folks
Q: What do you think of when you look up at the moon, Gene?
"Impossible is not in my vocabulary. But I envy you [the co-ops] to address the challenges in front of you. Your life is worth living if you are willing to accept the risk to make things happen." — retired NASA Flight Control Director Gene Kranz
