Houston! We Have A Problem!

Today I had the whole day in Houston so I had time to go to the Space Center.

One of the tours included visiting NASA's historic Mission Control, where space missions were monitored from 1965 to 1992, including 9 Gemini missions and all Apollo missions. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985 and renamed the 'Apollo Mission Control Center'. The Space Center website makes this comment about this room:

"You can feel the history from the monitors to the rotary dials. The truth is, there’s more technology in a modern watch than there was in this room in 1969."

The current Mission Control, now called the 'Flight Control Room', is in the same building, one floor below, although there are now additional Mission Control locations in the US and in other countries.
