NASA Johnson Space Center
Oral Histories
Established in 1996, the goal of the NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project was to capture history from the individuals who first provided the country and the world with an avenue to space and the Moon. Participants included managers, engineers, technicians, doctors, astronauts, and aerospace contractors who served in key roles during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle, and International Space Station programs.
Because of the volume of oral history interviews in the JSC Oral History Collection, they are grouped into separate tables and listed in alphabetical order. The transcripts available on this site are created from audio-recorded oral history interviews. To preserve the integrity of the audio record, the transcripts are presented with limited revisions and thus reflect the candid conversational style of the oral history format. Brackets and ellipses indicate where the text has been annotated or edited for clarity. Any personal opinions expressed in the interviews should not be considered the official views or opinions of NASA, the NASA History Office, NASA historians, or staff members.
