Control Room by danette

Control Room

This is the original equipment from the control room during the Apollo years. I am not sure if they are in this photo, but some of the phones were dial phones.
I miss those days of watching all the excitement. Wonderful shot! I see some toggle bolt switches and round dials. State of the art tech at the time. =)

@marlboromaam while in this room, they play the footage from a launch. Brought tears to my eyes.

@danette It would have choked me up too.

It is hard to imagine the growth of technology in our life time!! Great photo.

What's a dial phone? ;)
I'm envious. I've only been to one NASA site and it was restricted because of a returning flight as I recall. As a space- and astronomy-geek, I would have loved to see — and feel? — a launch...

@rhoing they do have simulators there. You can try to land the Space Shuttle (I failed). My husband said you can also simulate a launch.
