There were ten launches to validate all of the components and processes that would be needed to land a man on the moon over those nine years. The program began in 1960 and took just nine years to meet its objective. NASA was praised globally for its achievement – and rightly so. The moon landing was so incredible, so unimaginable that it’s the reason so many today still think that the landing was faked (to such skeptics I always ask, “Why was it faked six times?”). Imagine a world where it took just 66 years to get from the Model T to a Star Trek-like teleportation device, and you might come close to conjuring a similarly extraordinary accomplishment. Think of this – the Wright Brother’s first flight was just 66 years before the landing on the moon. But even that understates what was done in the summer of 1969. Many talk about the Apollo 11 moon landing as one of the most amazing engineering accomplishments in the history of humanity. With the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing upon us, I’ve been thinking a lot about what an amazing engineering feat that landing was, but I’ve also been thinking about how it contributed significantly to a tragedy seventeen years later and how that connection provides enduring lessons for business leaders.
