Since 1965, with Gemini IV, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center have monitored and managed missions in real time for NASA\u2019s human spaceflight programs.  These include the historic Moon landings as well as more than a hundred Space Shuttle missions from 1981 to 2011 including the launch of STS-1, the first launch of the Space Shuttle Orbiter. Their efforts continue today with the International Space Station expeditions. With more than 50 years of experience in operations, the team at JSC has developed a plan-train-fly model built on the knowledge learned during the early years of spaceflight. While technology has changed since the sixties, the basic principles remain the same. When faced with extraordinary circumstances, such as the Apollo 13 mission, NASA flight control teams, engineers, and flight crews have demonstrated NASA\u2019s \u201ccan do spirit\u201d in accomplishing the mission.   <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-hero-quote nasa-gb-align-full maxw-full width-full padding-x-3 display-flex flex-column flex-justify-center bg-nasa-blue-shade hds-module hds-module-full wp-block-nasa-blocks-hero-quote\"><div class=\"grid-container grid-container-block display-flex flex-column flex-justify-center padding-0\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tablet:grid-col-12 desktop:grid-col-8 desktop:display-flex mobile:display-block\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-hero-quote-icon margin-bottom-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"tablet:square-3 square-3 margin-right-2\" version=\"1.1\" aria-hidden=\"true\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 3000 3000\" style=\"enable-background:new 0 0 3000 3000;\" xml:space=\"preserve\"> <g> <path d=\"M586.7,1429.7c-10.7,1.5-21.4,2.8-33.9,4.5c6.9-26.6,12.7-50.7,19.5-74.6c32.4-114.1,78.5-222.2,146.8-319.5 c90.2-128.5,202.5-235.3,327.7-329.1c8.4-6.3,16.7-12.6,25.3-19.1c-66.3-105.1-131.5-208.6-197.3-313.1c-3.5,1.2-5.5,1.6-7.2,2.6 C714.4,469,576.1,575.7,456,705.3c-126,135.9-226.2,289.1-303,457.8c-98.8,217.1-151.3,444-147.2,683.3 c1.7,100.5,12.9,199.6,41.1,296.3C93.7,2303,182.2,2433,326.7,2520.1c176.9,106.7,366.8,126.8,563.4,70.5 c150.9-43.2,260.9-138.9,327.2-282.5c33.4-72.5,47.8-149.4,52-228.7c6.5-122.8-14.1-239.5-74.3-348.1 C1074.6,1514.5,832.7,1394.2,586.7,1429.7z\"><\/path><path d=\"M2912.5,1722c-129.9-210.9-320.2-309.4-567.9-296c-22.1,1.2-44,5.1-67.4,7.9c2.2-9.6,4-17.9,6.1-26.2 c37.9-153.6,99.3-296,198.8-420.5c77.8-97.4,167.1-182.9,265.8-258.8c15.6-12,31.3-23.9,47.9-36.5 c-66.2-105.1-131.9-209.2-197.2-312.8c-3.5,1.1-5.1,1.2-6.4,2c-167.2,95.6-316.1,213.7-443.2,358.8 c-105.1,119.9-191.1,252.3-259.5,396.3c-95.5,201-152.1,411.6-159.1,634.8c-3.9,125.5,4.8,249.7,40.1,371 c46.7,160.8,135.7,290.9,280.5,378.7c165.7,100.5,344.8,123,531.2,78.8c172.4-40.8,296.4-143.9,366.3-308.5 c28.5-67.2,40.6-138,44.6-210.5C3000.2,1953.3,2979.9,1831.4,2912.5,1722z\"><\/path><\/g><\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"hds-hero-quote-content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"margin-bottom-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"hds-hero-quote-heading heading-36 font-weight-light line-height-md margin-bottom-5\">There\u2019s been a \u201ccan do\u201d spirit about this place. \u201cSomehow we\u2019ll find a way.\u201d And I think woven in there is a little bit of the spirit of Texas.
