Gene Kranz Quotes
Spaceflight will never tolerate carelessness, incapacity, and neglect. Somewhere, somehow, we screwed up. It could have been in design, build, or test. Whatever it was, we should have caught it.

The simulators were not working, Mission Control was behind in virtually every area, and the flight and test procedures changed daily.
