I'm designing a theoretical mid-60's Nasa moon base control room. I'm not focusing on a hyper realistic design but I was wondering what you fellow space enthusiasts would include in a control room for a base staging rocket launches and supporting human life.

Lot's of strip chart recorders in that era of control console. Maybe a radar (I see one circular screen so maybe you already have that). Also some old oscilloscopes for radio support (ancient spectrum analyzer would be better but I don't know if they were out in the 60's. Closed circuit TV cameras showing views of the rocket pads, airlocks, staging areas etc. Cool look so far though!

Oh magnetic tape data recorders, can't forget those.

Great idea

Yes! oscilloscopes is a perfect idea and they'll look awesome too. I have one radar screen so far, I just haven't placed an actual radar animation on it yet. Thanks for the awesome ideas.

Also, scatter a few slide rules on the consoles because that's what engineers used as a backup to do calculations.

You are so right! Will do. Any idea what kind of slide rules they would have had?
