To clarify, I don't think Kranz made that quote. It was written into the Apollo 13 movie script in an attempt to summarize the ethos of the moment. IMO, it did so brilliantly and accurately.

For the non-scientists, please note those two statements were made with respect to two distinctly different phases of their respective life-cycles.

For those interested, SpaceX's engineering approach is more akin to Apollo than what NASA has become today in SLS. Here's a couple of references for your reading pleasure:
1) What Made Apollo a Success?
2) SpaceX System Engineering: A Traditional Discipline in a Non-traditional Organization

Both easily located online. The first compiled in the early 70s. The latter in 2012.

For a "scientist," your posts seem awfully amateurish. How 'bout you display some real scientist humility, grow up, and do your ranks proud.
