Johnson Space Center (JSC) is NASA's center for human spaceflight (originally named the Manned Spacecraft Center), where human spaceflight training, research, and flight control are conducted. It was renamed in honor of the late US president and Texas native, Lyndon B. Johnson, by an act of the United States Senate on February 19, 1973. It consists of a complex of 100 buildings constructed on 1,620 acres (660 hectares) in the Clear Lake Area of Houston, which acquired the official nickname "Space City" in 1967. The center is home to NASA's astronaut corps and is responsible for training astronauts from both the US and its international partners. It houses the Christopher C. Kraft Jr. Mission Control Center, which has provided the flight control function for every NASA human spaceflight since Gemini 4 (including Apollo, Skylab, Apollo–Soyuz, and Space Shuttle). It is popularly known by its radio call signs "Mission Control" and "Houston". ========================================= A special thanks to the channel supporters (   / retrospacehd   ): Asbjørn Drew Granston Francis Bernier Gary Smith Gio Pagliari Glenn Hussey Jan Strzelecki Jeff Pleimling Jules E Kevin Spencer Michael Pennington Nathan Koga Noah Soderquist Ryan Hardy Scott Manley ======================================== #1966 #nasa #MSC
