1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,119
I've been honored, privileged, and blessed

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,959
to interview presidents,

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,239
politicians, sports celebrities, over the

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,879
years.

5
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,879
But the one interview I always mentioned

6
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,319
actually was coordinated by

7
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,758
NASA Glenn, and that's Gene Krantz,

8
00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:18,159
for years the director of flight control

9
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:19,038
at NASA.

10
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:20,879
Of course the movie Apollo 13 with the

11
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,719
vest and all - we know that story.

12
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,198
But having a chance to interview him was

13
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:26,079
fascinating.

14
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,239
I've loved space my whole life thinking

15
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,438
about the Moon,

16
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:31,438
and I remember talking to him about the

17
00:00:31,439 --> 00:00:32,959
team he put together

18
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,679
years ago. He looked for midwestern guys

19
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,718
as he said. Bill,

20
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:38,558
I like midwestern guys that know how to

21
00:00:38,559 --> 00:00:40,959
fix things, guys that grew up on the farm.

22
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,078
They had to be patient

23
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:44,558
and fix things because I knew we'd have

24
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:46,159
to fix stuff.

25
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:48,558
And boy they did - so we're so proud in

26
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:49,759
Cleveland to call

27
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,759
