Along with this, take time and listen to the BBC Series "13 minutes to the moon" https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p083t547 which goes into detail behind everything that happened during those 13 minutes. I was truly amazed by the backstory and the youth of everybody in the control room. As I recall, Gene Kranz (in his mid 30s in 1969) was the oldest person in the room.
