Failure is Not an Option #2

In this next chapter in my book the narrarator talks about his time after the first sucessful American man in space. Mr. Kranz details his hard work with making the manual on how to operate the mission control, which was his main duty when he first arrived at the Cape. His growing experience from the frequent launches that take place at Cape Canaveral have helped him write this manual, which figures to be the precedent for every other mission control in the United States. Mr. Kranz knows he is in the middle of American History, but he says that there is really no time to step back and "smell the roses" so to speak. Gene says he is always on the move, always working, getting almost no time at all to sit back, relax, and reflect on his workday like most of his fellow Americans. He also says that the hectic work takes a toll on his growing family. He has a baby on the way, and although his wife says that she fully supports him and his work, he can sense a longing for him from his wife and it seems to me that it eats him up inside.
