No, that money will be for services rendered and not development And where are these private astronaust They will be new and ex astronauts. No need for them right now. There is time to develop them.

NASA will no longer have spacecraft simulators. The rest of NASA's facilities are not needed to train commercial astronauts. The companies will have their own training syllabus.

Hopefully KSC being so historic and so close to the air force base will get it maintained as a national historic monument As to 39 A&B return one to the appearance of Apollo and stack a full up saturn moon rocket model on one bad, leave the remaining pad in the shuttle configuration stack a mock up or enterprise on this pad. Build a glass structructure around both pads and give the public the first opportunity to see them close up, along with the VAB. Excellent tourist display |
