Great stuff. A hallowed room.

There is a great documentary on Netflix called Mission Control. Interviews with a lot of the former controllers from the Apollo era. Well worth a watch!

In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

I got to see the mission control room at the JFK Space Center in Florida years ago. Was pretty cool.
