Apollo 13 phrase tied to Johnson Space Center

The paraphrased line "Houston, we have a problem" originates from the Apollo 13 mission and is widely associated with the NASA facility in Houston. The Manned Spacecraft Center-renamed the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center-handled mission control communications for Apollo missions, linking the phrase to this site. Flight transcripts show the original line differs slightly ('Houston, we've had a problem'), a point noted in historical records and often mentioned humorously by locals and visitors.
