In the June issue of IEEE Spectrum, NASA's first flight director, Christopher Kraft, is interviewed about his controversial recent account of his years in NASA, "Flight: My Life in Mission Control." Kraft talks candidly about his sometimes tense relations with many famous figures during the race to the moon, including Scott Carpenter, Werner von Braun, and John Glenn. He also gives a blunt assessment of what he feels NASA and its current administrator, Dan Goldin, are doing wrong today.
