Apollo 13 (I) (1995)
Kenneth White: Grumman Rep
Quotes
-
INCO White : Gene, I-I'm wondering what the... what the Grumman guys think about this.
Grumman Rep : We can't make any guarantees. We designed the LEM to land on the moon, not fire the engine out there for course corrections.
Gene Kranz : Well, unfortunately, we're not landing on the moon, are we?

Grumman Rep : Gene, I want you to understand we've never tried this before: burn, cold soak, burn, cold soak, burn, manual control.
Gene Kranz : Look, it will ignite, will it not?
Grumman Rep : I just want you to know the engine's never been tried like this. That's all I'm trying to tell you.
Gene Kranz : Look, I know what you're trying to do. I guarantee you, I won't hold you personally responsible. If it lights, it lights. Let Lovell do the rest.
