I took this photo exactly five years ago, for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Apollo 11 moon landing. This is the restored Apollo mission control.

The guy in a suit, back to us, is Gene Kranz. He was mission control director for that flight. We in the gallery got a nice wave from him.

The Apollo mission control room from the 1960s fully restored. The room is full of flight consoles and screens. About nine people are in the image, gathered about.
