I live down here on the Space Coast. I live about 20 miles from Cape Canaveral. I watched the first manned shots go up from my front yard. All the tecnology was here in Brevard County until LBJ became the Prez and moved most of it to his home state of Texas.
Yes the shuttle era is ending but there will still be shots from the Cape. They will be rockets instead of the Shuttle. Some have already lost jobs and some are being retrained. This will not be easy on Brevard County. But like everything else, things change. They change all the time. We, like others will just have to adapt.
Unfortunately, over the course of the last fifty or so years, military-industrial complexes have come and gone in a lot of areas. Base closings, too. . .
Brevard county is sorta-coastal, so it seems like there would be a lot of possibilities...... it has that inland waterway "Miami Beach" thing going for it......
