Listen "Failure is Not an Option / For All Mankind"
Episode Synopsis
We are go for podcast! On this edition of Journey to Wonder, Chris and Joe dive deep into thier mutual love and fascination with the early US space program with a discussion of our first non fiction book, Failure is Not an Option by Gene Kranz. Gene is one of the most storied of NASA's flight directors and recounts his view on the history of the space program from the early days of Mercury up to the end of the Apollo program. We compare and contrast what really happened to the "alternative history" represented in the recent Apple TV+ series, For All Mankind, which recently wrapped up its 3rd season. If you have thoughts about this slight twist on our formula, let us know by sending an email to [email protected]! Next time, we will go post apocalyptic with the 1954 novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. There are a few film takes on this including The Last Man on Earth, The Omega Man and of course the 2007 Will Smith film of the same name.
