I was there a couple weeks ago. They had the Apollo control room blocked off to visitors for the rennovations so we saw a different one. The tours are kinda boring but you have to suffer one to get to the Saturn V. That thing is incredible, looking at the welds on the engines knowing they were done by hand blows me away. Also, seeing how large the turbo pumps are and imagining the LOX flowing at full tilt is scary. I get the feeling the term "control" is used very loosely once those engines are ignited.
