The Houston Space Center and the NASA Johnson Space Center, though separate locations, are closely connected. The Johnson Space Center is America's largest space research, production, and control center, where all space rockets and shuttles are launched from Florida, but all control is done here. The 1969 moon landing mission was also controlled here, so the first word spoken by humans on the moon was "Houston," and now whenever there is a problem, people joke, "Houston, we have a problem."
When visiting the Space Center, visitors can take a small train to the Space Center (including the Rocket Park) for a tour, but this route is crowded and requires a long wait, so it is recommended to arrive early. In addition, Space Center staff will take a souvenir photo of each visitor, but requires a high fee of about $10 per photo. If you do not want to spend money, you can choose to forgo the photo or take one yourself.
