Kranz, who gave a slide presentation to illustrate his speech, received a standing ovation from the large audi- ence in the Student Center Ballroom Wednesday night. He said the young people working to bring the astro- nauts back alive were heroes because they made e\ cr> - one believe that failure was not an option during the mission. Many of the members of the ground crew were in their 20s to mid-30s. Kranz himself was in his early thir- ties. After the initial confusion of the message, "Houston, we have a problem," was over, the young people at Mis- sion Control started to settle down and think about what to do about the situation, Kranz said. "We exercised our street smarts to find out w hat w ere those things we're going to need to survive," he said. Kranz said the plot of last year's blockbuster hit movie "Apollo 13." was technically correct in terms of the sequence of events and how the crew went about solving the calamities that took place during the course of the mission. The Apollo 13 mission was supposed to result in the l< i n.iiK skm Brian Douglas third lunar landing, but problems arose in one of the oxy- Gene ki in/ gen tanks and caused an explosion. The mission to the moon was never fulfilled. He said although the Russian space program began Kranz's speech covered what happened tn the mission two years before the U.S. space program, the United and how both crews the Mission Control ground crew States literally caught up to the Russians when Ed White and the astronauts — had to work together to bring the became the first man to Rep outside of die spacecraft. craft and its passengers back to earth alive.
