Appolo 13 - Great Learning

Appolo 13 - The Successful Failure The perfect oxymoron.What a team effort;I recently saw the movie and i was so inspired, i wanted to find out more on Net, When i searched i come across this article from IEEE.This is white paper which details the account. http://www.spectrum.ieee.org/apr05/2697 The whole episode teaches so much- training, leadership, innovativeness, dedication. It should be part of every engineering curriculam.
Leadership- Though "Flight" did not deliver the phrase "Failure is not an Option", what he said to his team exactly reflected this and inspired the team so much. Innovativeness - How many disconnected items the team came up with a solution to do Co2 filter. So much to learn from this episode.
