Failure is Not an Option

[Mil Dot]

I agree. It was inspiring when they were explaining that the time count down when Apollo12 landing craft was attempting to land on the moon was actually the time till they would have to abort due to low fuel. They touched down within 15 sec of not having enough to get back off the rock! Holy Smokes! Then when Apollo 13 had its "problem". I don't recall the Lead Engineers' name but he gathered his team together to figure out the restart sequence for the command module and told them we have not lost a man in space and we're not going to now. Failure is not an option. It doesn't get any plainer than that.
