NASA's Johnson Space Center (named for President Lyndon B. Johnson, who was also Senator from Texas and instrumental in getting it built there) is NASA's center in Houston for manned flight missions/control, and astronaut training.
The space shuttle launches from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and has landed both back at the Kennedy Space Center but also at the Edwards Air Force Base in California and the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico most recently due to poor weather at the Kennedy Space Center. Landing facilities at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX are limited and cannot support the space shuttle.
Johnson was personally responsible for the existence of the center. The facility came into being through legislation originated by Johnson in 1958. In carrying forth with Kennedy's goal to land on the moon, he created a lot of benefit for NASA, both at Cape Canaveral and at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. It was originally named the Manned Spacecraft Center, but was renamed in 1973, a few months after Johnson died.
