This book describes the history of this now iconic room which represents America's space
program during the Gemini  Apollo  Skylab  Apollo-Soyuz and early Space Shuttle eras. It is now
a National Historic Landmark and is being restored to a level which represents the day the
flight control teams walked out after the last lunar landing missions. The book is dedicated to
the estimated 3 000 men and women who supported the flights and tells the story from their
perspective. It describes the rooms of people supporting this control center  those rooms of
engineers  analysts and scientists most people never knew about. Some called it a shrine and
some called it a cathedral. Now it will be restored to its former glory and soon thousands will
be able to view the place where America flew to the moon.
