Gene Kranz:
Now, in the meantime, we're gonna have a frozen command module up there. In a couple days, we're gonna have to power it up using nothing but the re-entry batteries.GNC White:That's never been tried before.R.E.T.R.O. White:Hell, we've never even simulated it before, Gene.Gene Kranz:Well, we're gonna have to figure it out. I want people in our simulators working re-entry scenarios. I want you guys to find every engineer who designed every switch, every circuit, every transistor, and every light bulb that's up there. Then I want you to talk to the guy on the assembly line who actually built the thing. Find out how to squeeze every amp out of both of these god damn machines.Gene Kranz:I want this mark all the way back to Earth with time to spare
