I have been to Florida just one time. In July 2011, I got the idea to take a few days off from work and fly down to Florida to see the final shuttle launch. I'm glad that I did it but coming up with a strategy to get from the hotel to the launch site was rough. I was close to renting a car to get there because none of the taxi companies were willing to do it and there was zero public transportation (OR SIDEWALKS).

Location: Kennedy Space Center (Merritt Island, FL)

Hmm, if anyone left their spaceship parked at Cape Canaveral, you might want to pull it back into the hangar. Looks like a tornado cell moving your way. #Tornado #warning #CapeCanaveral #space #spaceship #parking

🇪🇺 "Normally, selecting the #launch #provider for communication #satellites that cost eight or nine figures is accompanied by a press release and plenty of celebration. That the #European #SpaceAgency, #Eutelsat, #Airbus, and #Thales #Alenia said next to nothing until the last moment says a lot about how all parties involved #really #feel about transferring three of their satellites onto #SpaceX #rockets. All three were #intended to launch on #Ariane #rockets" https://www.teslarati.com/european-spacecraft-spacex-falcon-9-launches

📆 January 5, 2023 The #French 🇫🇷 #aerospace industries association, #GIFAS, said #Europe’s 🇪🇺 #launch sector was in an “unprecedented #crisis situation” with the delayed availability of #Ariane 6 and the recent failure of the medium-lift #Vega-C rocket https://www.spaceintelreport.com/two-uncomfortable-truths-europes-launch-sector-is-in-crisis-and-no-one-knows-how-to-end-it/
