Situated next to "NASA Johnson Space Center – NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston has been at the forefront of human space exploration for over 60 years. Established in 1961 as the Manned Spacecraft Center and renamed in 1973, JSC has played a crucial role in advancing science, technology, engineering, and medicine for space exploration. The center's $1.5 billion complex spans 1,620 acres southeast of downtown Houston, serving as the home and Mission Control Center for the U.S. human space flight program. From leading early space programs like Gemini and Apollo to current initiatives such as the International Space Station and Orion spacecraft, JSC has been instrumental in shaping NASA's missions and transforming Houston into a thriving aerospace hub."
