Johnson didn’t create NASA. So what, that he got mission control in his home state, big deal. It doesn’t belong at the cape.

Sorry. You seem to forget the "mission control" was at or near the "the cape" for the initial manned missions. Your beloved Lyndon Baines Johnson was a monster. It would be best for the United States if every initiative he took were undone including the 100 building "communications" facility in Houston.

Never said a word about loving LBJ (you are using lib tactics there) JSC is much more than a communications center. It is the main training center for our astronauts. Get your facts straight, or should I say get some facts to begin with

You’re wrong on that one too. It was actually on Telephone Rd near Hobby Airport at the time. I’ll send you some links if you wish

A link that shows what was actually going on at the time. NASA in Houston was much more than communications from the get go. Don’t let your hatred of LBJ blind you. I haven’t
