In the 1960’s the Johnson Space Center was built in Houston TX during the Lyndon Johnson Administration.  The center is where US space missions since the Gemini Program have been controlled.  Here’s a good look at Mission Control in Ars Technica.

I’ve never visited JSC, but mission control seems like an interesting and dynamic place.
