Mission Control: How NASA Flies Spacecraft from Earth | Inside Houston’s Nerve Center

How does NASA actually fly a spacecraft once it leaves Earth? In this episode of Orbital Briefing, Ron Walker takes you inside Mission Control, the nerve center of American human spaceflight. From Gemini and Apollo to the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, and Artemis, Mission Control has been where flight controllers monitor spacecraft, guide astronauts, solve problems in real time, and make the decisions that keep missions alive. This episode explores how NASA built one of the most important operational systems in space history, and why Mission Control remains just as essential today as it was during the Moon race.Plus, if you enjoy the history of the Shuttle era, check out Ron Walker’s book The American Spaceplane, available now at RetroJetStudios.com.
