Public registration opens Friday (Aug. 11).

NASA legend Eugene "Gene" Kranz discusses his new book, "Tough and Competent: Leadership and Team Chemistry," with William Harris, President and CEO of Space Center Houston. In a lively conversation, they will focus on Kranz's role leading the flight controllers who returned the damaged Apollo 13 spaceship safely back to Earth – and how leadership and team chemistry are essential ingredients to master risk, and control and mitigate issues in a crisis environment.

A book signing follows and copies of the book will be available to purchase from the gift shop, along with signed bookplates. To accommodate as many guests as possible, each person will be limited to two (2) book copies signed by Kranz on a first come, first served basis. Only copies of "Tough and Competent" will be signed. At this time, personalized dedications cannot be accommodated.

This program is free but registration is required. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis in Space Center Theater.
