Article about a tour of the MOCR with Sy Liebergot
« on: November 01, 2012, 10:58:43 AM »
Lee Hutchinson, Ars Technica editor and resident of greater Houston, has written a article about his tour of JSC and the MOCR, personally guided by Apollo era controller Sy Liebergot. 

It is fairly in depth account of how the MOCR worked including the use of the 100+ year old technology of pneumatic tubes.  A reminder  of the days when delivering a message meant delivering a physical object.

Ars Technica has another article up on Mission Control that includes the basics of what was done at each station and photos and labeled diagrams of each console .
