The 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing is rapidly approaching, and NASA is going all out to celebrate. We knew we’d get some retrospective videos, a few articles and interviews, but NASA really pulled out all the stops by reviving the Mission Control room of the Apollo 11 mission and restoring it to its former glory with the help of one of one of its most famous employees.
Gene Kranz, legendary flight director of the Apollo 11 mission as well as Apollo 13, lead a $5 million project to bring the Mission Control room — which has been frozen in time as a tourist attraction for years — back to life. Now, just weeks away from the Apollo 11 anniversary, it’s fully up and running once more.
