John W. Aaron (born 1943) is a former NASA engineer and was a flight controller during the Apollo program. He is widely credited with saving the Apollo 12 mission when it was struck by lightning shortly after liftoff, and he played an important role during the Apollo 13 crisis, earning him the highly complimentary appellation of "a steely-eyed missile man".
Early life
John Aaron was born in Wellington, Texas and grew up in rural Western Oklahoma near Vinson, one of the youngest in a family of seven children. His mother was a minister, and his father was a cattle rancher. After spending a year attending Bethany Nazarene College, he transferred to Southwestern Oklahoma State University, from which he graduated in 1964 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics. Although he had intended to teach math and science after graduating from college, he applied for a job at NASA on the recommendation of a friend.

When he arrived at NASA, Aaron was trained as an EECOM, a flight controller with specific responsibility for the electrical, environmental and communications systems on board the spacecraft. By January 19, 1965, when the unmanned Gemini 2 was launched, he was already working in Mission Control.
