Boeing spent about $250 million each for the CCAFS and VAFB launch sites.
Lockheed is getting a $200 million subsidy from the USAF for its VAFB
launch site.


Boeing didn't pay for SLC 37B construction - Florida Space Authority did
(also for the SLC 41 mods). Both Boeing and LM *lease* their respective EELV
pads at the Cape.


Didn't this outfit also fund redevelopment of SLC 46 for use
(only once or twice) by now-defunct Athena? Could we see this
organization caring for yet another mothballed launch site
before long?
