L'optimisme, ce n'est pas le refus de voir ce qui ne va pas, c'est le désir de ne pas s'y attarder. // Donne moi le courage de changer les choses que je peux changer, la sérénité d'accepter celles que je ne peux pas changer, et la sagesse de distinguer entre les deux. (Marc Aurèle) // Don't raise your voice; improve your argument. (Desmond Tutu) // Be the change you want to see in the world. (Gandhi)

“Mission Control has two problems, 
the software is not written 
and the computers are not working.” Kraft’s action memo to me was clear:

“Get your damn systems guys to stop the gold-plating. I want you to personally justify every one of their requirements.”

(Gene Kranz, in Failure is not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond)
