"Failure is not an option." |
This month's President's message is written by Carlos Penin, PE, 2021-2022 FES President
As NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz is credited to have said during the Apollo 13 moon landing mission, “Failure is not an option.” We, too, cannot fail our youth because, in doing so, we would fail everything that we and generations before us have achieved.
