The story of Apollo 13 is very familiar to most people, whether it is because they remember it when it
was happening or due to the fact that they have seen Ron Howard's version of how it happened at the
movies. Chapter 3 of Michael Useem's “The Leadership Moment” examines the Apollo 13 story most
people are unfamiliar with. It is the story of Eugene Kranz, the flight director for Apollo 13 who was
responsible for everything related to this mission.
The chapter looks into the events on the ground and how Gene kept level headed and ultimately led to
the safe return of the astronauts.
