In 1958, engineer Glynn Lunney became one of the original 35 members of the Space Task Group, which later became NASA. Mr. Lunney’s aerospace career spans almost three decades, serving in the Mission Control Center on Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, and at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., as an administrator. In this oral history interview, Mr. Lunney talked about the early days of NASA, the advances of the Mercury and Gemini missions, the significance of Apollo 8, and the challenges of saving Apollo 13, a 1970 aborted moon landing mission that nearly ended in disaster. The interview is from NASA’s oral history program at the Johnson Space Center. close
