Hello to all space enthusiasts out there! The mission control center that successfully guided the first three people, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the Moon back in the year 1969, has been restored by NASA.

Named as a National Historic Landmark back in 1985, the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, has been carefully restored to how it looked five decades ago.

The project began in earnest in 2017, after five years of fundraising by the Manned Space Flight Education Foundation Inc. That’s the nonprofit which operates Space Center Houston, the visitor’s center at Johnson. In total, it cost $5 million.

It’s been a painstaking process, putting excruciating levels of attention onto items which, at the time, would have been merely casual desk detritus to the scientists and specialists in the room. Where possible, the original artifacts were returned to the control room, visitor’s gallery, and the simulation support room next door. That includes the control consoles and displays.

Where that wasn’t possible, new replicas based on the original designs were created. The restoration team matched the paint colors for the walls, the carpet in the facility, even the coffee mugs and ashtrays. All were restored to the positions they’d occupied when humanity first stepped on the Moon.
