Podcast appearances and mentions of sandra tetley

For this episode, we're sharing a conversation with members of the team responsible for the restoration of the Apollo Mission Control Center at Johnson Space Center. Led by the Historic Preservation Officer, Sandra Tetley, the team spoke with Shannon Harris following a session at the Real Places conference hosted by the Texas Historical Commission in early 2019. At the time, the team was working to complete restoration in time for the 50th Anniversary of the first lunar landing. More information about this project including photographs detailing the painstaking restoration process is available online at https://spacecenter.org/restoring-apollo-mission-control-center/.

Every time an Apollo astronaut said the word Houston, they were referring not just to a city, but a specific room in that city: Mission Control. In that room on July 20, 1969, NASA engineers answered radio calls from the surface of the moon. Sitting in front of rows of green consoles, cigarettes in hand, they guided humans safely back to earth, channeling the efforts of the thousands and thousands of people who worked on the program through one room. But until recently, that room was kind of a mess. After hosting Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle missions through 1992, the room hosted retirement parties, movie screenings, and the crumbs that came with them. Spurred by the deadline of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 in 2019, the room was carefully restored with a new visitor experience. The restoration project focused on accurately portraying how the area looked at key moments during that mission, right down to the ashtrays and soda cans. In this episode, Sandra Tetley, Historic Preservation Officer at the Johnson Space Center, describes the process of restoring “one of the most significant places on earth.” Topics and Links 00:00 Intro 00:14 Apollo Mission Control Center (https://spacecenter.org/exhibits-and-experiences/nasa-tram-tour/apollo-mission-control/) 00:49 Sandra Tetley 02:00 “History Keeps Going” 02:35 Becoming a National Historic Landmark 04:00 Starting the Restoration 04:40 Gene Kranz Steps In (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Kranz) 05:15 Mission Control Visitor’s Galley 06:30 The Visitor Experience 08:10 The Drama of the Room 09:37 Independence Hall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Hall) 10:10 Coffee Cups and Cigarettes 11:15 Apollo Flight Controllers Get to Celebrate 13:04 Archipelago At the Movies
