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.
