LYNDON B. The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, originally known as the Manned Spacecraft Center, is one of nine National Aeronautics and Space Administration field installations and home base for the nation's astronauts.
The origins of the center are to be found in the national commitment to a broad program of space exploration, including manned space flight, which the United States made in response to the Soviet Union's successful space launches, begun in 1957.
Johnson Space Center became the host center for the new Space Station Program Office, and Boeing Defense and Space Group was selected as the single prime contractor.

 American President
As a man, Lyndon Johnson was obsessed with his place in history, consumed by a voracious appetite for life, and often cast between emotional extremes.
Johnson delivered the South -- including several states that had voted Republican during the Eisenhower years -- and the team of JFK and LBJ won the election by the smallest popular margin of the century.
Johnson was not, however, in Kennedy's inner circle and seemed frustrated by his lack of influence, particularly on legislative matters.
