When the Apollo 13 crew experienced a spacecraft explosion while en route to the moon, they radioed Mission Control at the NASA space center located approximately 25 miles southeast of downtown Houston. This is where the iconic phrase “Houston, we’ve had a problem” was famously spoken by the astronauts. Many Americans are familiar with this memorable line, which was also depicted as “Houston, we have a problem” in the movie adaptation of Apollo 13.
