FUN FACT

“Houston…we have a problem” uttered by Tom Hanks in the 1995 film Apollo 13 was actually a misquote. What astronaut John Swigert actually said to signal an explosion aboard the spacecraft attempting to reach the moon was: “OK, Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” Find out what earned this Texan city the nickname of Space City over at the Space Center.
