Mostly, in my view it was really about the triumph of managing uncertainty and complexity, and the processes that are required to succeed when uncertainty and complexity are off the charts.

In a few words, he evoked the magic and potential of space, galvanized a nation into believing it was both possible and necessary, and inspired generations to reach for the extraordinary. \u2018We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy, but because it is hard, because this goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills\u2019 \u2014 remains for me one of the most inspiring visions and frames the achievements of all those that succeeded so spectacularly through the Apollo missions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 <strong class=\"Annotation -strong\">Steve Collar<\/strong>, CEO, SES\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat always strikes me about the Apollo program is the clarity of the vision \u2014 to go to the Moon. More than 400,000 people were inspired to work towards that one objective, which really goes to show what we can achieve when we put our heads together and set our sights on overcoming a challenge. One of our core values at the U.K. Space Agency is to be ambitious in everything that we do, and I personally find it useful to think about Apollo whenever it looks like as if something is going to be difficult to accomplish.
