Launch Complex Now Available For Civil, Commercial Launches
by Staff Writers
Cape Canaveral FL (AFNS) Oct 24, 2008
Officials with the Air Force and Space Florida made history during a dedication ceremony held here Oct. 22 when Space Launch Complex 36 officially was made available for operational use by the State of Florida, subject to completion of the environmental impact analysis.
Attending the historic ceremony were Florida Governor Charlie Crist; Florida Lt. Governor Jeff Kottkamp; Space Florida President Steve Kohler; Lt. Gen. William Shelton, 14th Air Force commander; and Brig. Gen. Susan Helms, 45th Space Wing commander.
General Shelton said Air Force leaders supported the initiative because it will make it easier for commercial providers to launch from the U.S. Having domestic launch options provides the U.S. with solid foundation for national security.
Of importance to those of us following the Planet X developments online is the possibility that civilians will eventually be able to use the Cape to “skip the surly bonds of Earth … and [touch] the face of God” to reach for the stars and our new home (John Gillespie Magee, Jr).
Catch you on the backside!
