TITUSVILLE, Fla.—Florida’s newest senator is making her own push to have the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) move its headquarters from Washington to the state that has hosted its most historic launches.
Sen. Ashley Moody introduced the CAPE Canaveral Act, on March 13. Short for “Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral,” it seeks to put NASA’s headquarters right next to Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, and the entire stretch of coastline that remains not only the busiest spaceport in the country but also the only one capable of and permitted to deliver human beings into orbit, the International Space Station and beyond.
