In this episode of Future Tech, I speak with former NASA Flight Director and Johnson Space Center Associate Director Milt Heflin about the real engine behind space exploration — the thousands of engineers, contractors, and problem-solvers working behind the scenes. From Apollo recovery missions to the historic Hubble Space Telescope repair, Milt shares what it was like leading teams responsible for some of NASA’s most complex missions. We discuss how teams prepare for the unknown, how mission control solves problems in real time, and why trust, preparation, and teamwork were the true secrets behind NASA’s greatest successes. This episode is a masterclass in leadership and execution from one of the people who helped guide humanity’s most ambitious missions.
