the netflix documentary Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo describes the early days when someone had to invent the very concept of a "mission control center" after it became clear that astronauts were going to need a lot of realtime, outside support.
wikipedia says "One of [Christopher C.] Kraft's most important contributions to manned spaceflight would be his origination of the concept of a Mission Control Center."
