Have you ever been told to follow the chain of command or else?

In most organizations with hierarchy or a bureaucracy, there is a set way in which things have to be done.

If you have a suggestion or a complaint, you have to go to your immediate superior and not jump over anyone's head.

If it wasn't for one man jumping over the heads of his superiors and jeopardizing his job,

we might never have landed on the moon.

Learn more about Lunar Orbit rendezvous and how skipping the chain of command help make the moon

landing happen on this episode of Everything everywhere daily. This episode of Everything Everywhere Daily is sponsored by listeners like you.

Creating a daily show like this isn't easy.

Researching, writing, and recording a daily show takes quite a bit of time and

you have to do it every single day.

Over on Patreon.com there is a small but growing community of listeners who support the show with their

donations. In addition to showing your

support for the show you can also get some extra benefits as well.

Depending on your level of sponsorship you can be listed as an associate or

executive producer of the show. There's monthly original

wallpapers for your desktop and smartphone as well as merchandise like

stickers, t-shirts, and hoodies. Depending on your sponsorship level you can also

submit ideas directly to me because this is a daily show and I need a lot of show ideas.

Next month patrons will also be able to get monthly e-books of the episode transcripts

as part of their support. As new projects, products, and events

roll out over the next several months, patrons will have first dibs on everything.
