This is picture of Mission Control during Apollo 13. When confronted with this crisis they did 2 important things. They recognized that whatever solution would have to depend on what the guys had up there to hand - no vain imagining new resources. Secondly they knew that the only mission now was to get the men home.
The focus
The method
Imagine then if instead that these men had divided up along idealogical lines. Say engineers versus astronauts. Imagine if they had fought tooth and nail about who was to blame for the accident?
Crazy?
So think a bit about the media, our political system and us?
What are we doing? What would be a better way?
