The flight controllers, each supported by a staff of specialists, were the most visible part of the operation, running the missions, talking to the heavens, troubleshooting issues on board, and, ultimately, attempting to bring everyone safely back home.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e None of NASA's storied accomplishments would have been possible without these people. Interviews with dozens of individuals who worked in the historic third-floor mission control room bring the compelling stories to life. \u003cem\u003eGo, Flight!\u003c\/em\u003e is a real-world reminder of where we have been and where we could go again given the right political and social climate.
