Question regarding the Huston Space Centre tour.

If anyone knows anything about this;

If I where to take the Level 9 tour, do I get to visit the International Space Station Flight Control Room?

I believe that's included in this line:
Building 30S - New Mission Control Center (Viewing Areas)
IIRC, the viewing areas for both the shuttle control center and the ISS control center are right next to each other.

I might be wrong though, it's been a few years.
 
They are right next to each other. I remember going in the 90s to a JSC open house and they showed us around both the old Apollo mission control and the modern one. If my memory serves me correctly, they are separated by a door.

It was kind of funny going on one of the tram tours in 2003 (the last time I visited JSC). The guide showed us the old Apollo mission control and when someone asked if we could see the ISS control room, she said "its location is secret for security reasons." lol They must have started saying that after 9/11.
 
The only difference I see between this and the regular tours is the cafeteria part. O.o
(although I don't know what it's referring to with the "vacuum chamber")
