After Hurricane Ike closed it for 12 days (with some damage), Johnson Space Center will again open Monday, September 22. Mission Control for the space station was moved, with controllers operating their computers further inland, from Austin, Texas. Johnson Space Center (JSC) is between Houston and Galveston. One humourous note-I visited JSC in 2001. Due to some back problems my wife was having, I pulled up to the door in a no-parking area to get her a wheelchair. I locked my keys in the car, and NASA security had to break into my vehicle!
