Communicate to Motivate A Real-Life Rocket Scientist: Chester Durnin Joins the Show
Mr. Durnin contracted with NASA and the Department of Defense starting in the 1960's and retired in 1992. Listen as he shares real stories related to the early launch days of the Apollo missions including the very sad fire that occurred with Apollo 1.
Chester shares how miscommunication led to some incidents that the media never found out about and walks listeners through the disciplined launch communication that must occur for a successful launch. He is still just as passionate as ever about the space program and believes we will soon have a person on Mars! My favorite line from this interview is his adamant belief that 'the secret of the space program is communication'!
