He endured the disastrous first years when rockets blew up and the United States seemed to fall further behind the Soviet Union in the space race.

But among the talented men (and later women) who worked in mission control, the room located on the third floor of Building 30—at what is now Johnson Space Center—would become known by many as "the Cathedral." These members of the space program were the brightest of their generations, making split-second decisions that determined the success or failure of a mission.
