It was in many ways a repeat of the dynamic behind the Apollo 1 fire in 1967. This from a speech that flight director Gene Kranz gave to Apollo workers at Houston afterwards: "We were too gung ho about the schedule and we locked out all the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we... Nothing we did had any shelf life. Not one of us stood up and said, 'Dammit, stop!'"
