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)

Such was Flight Control in the final year before the lunar landing. 
Assignments and opportunities came like a lightning flash. 
There were no precedents, no guidelines. 
All of a sudden you were given a job and you just did it—whatever it took.

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