This week on Out of Office: A Travel Podcast, Kiernan speaks with NASA’s Sandra Tetley, who oversaw the brand spankin’ new restoration of Mission Control at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Visitors will experience Apollo 11’s launch, moon landing, and return as if they were there. Tetley talks about the detective work that goes into restoration—and several historic NASA sites that are slated for demolition.
