In the panic that followed the Soviet launch of Sputnik, Harrison Storms, the legendary chief engineer of North American Aviation, captured the job of building the Apollo spacecraft. Storms was one of the country's foremost airplane designer, and at North American he is known, only half-jokingly, and The Creator. As Storms and his engineers feel their way through uncharted technologies on a killing schedule, the blizzard of changing orders from NASA keeps the design of the ship a constantly moving target. Harold Michael "Mike" Gray (October 26, 1935 – April 30, 2013)[1] was an American writer, screenwriter, cinematographer, film producer and director. In 1965, Mike Gray and Jim Dennett co-founded The Film Group, a Chicago film production company. In 1968, the pair produced the award-winning documentary American Revolution 2, followed by the trio's The Murder of Fred Hampton. He also wrote and directed Wavelength, an independent science fiction film starring Robert Carradine, Cherie Currie, and Keenan Wynn, with a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. Gray next co-created the television series Starman. Following Starman, he became series writer/producer for the 1988–89 season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Screenwriter Mike Gray profiled Storms in his 1992 book, Angle of Attack. Publishers Weekly described it as a "swaggering portrait of NASA's Apollo project [which] might well be called Indiana Jones and the Engineering Mission of Destiny." More
