Avi: What made the Apollo program a success?
\nAl: Back in the late sixties and early seventies there was no bureaucracy at NASA. We had a goal of getting to and back from the Moon and everybody worked to it. Everybody was focused on the goal and nobody was trying to protect their job\u200a\u2014\u200athey were all trying hard to get the job done even beyond the highest standards, no matter how \u201csmall\u201d their role in the program. Most of the people working in the Apollo program were young, with a average age of 28, and that helped a lot in overcoming all sorts of engineering challenges, because they did not \u201cknow\u201d that something was impossible.<\/em><\/p>\n
