(CNN)—NASA's rockets are astounding machines, capable of blasting into space at thousands of miles per hour and withstanding temperatures twice the melting point of steel.
But they can't take off underwater.
Rising sea levels caused by melting ice caps threaten to disrupt a handful of NASA launch sites along U.S. coastlines, the space agency warns. In the coming years, launch facilities at Florida's Kennedy Space Center and other places may need to be retrofitted or even moved inland, NASA says.
"Every NASA center has its own set of vulnerabilities, and some are more at risk than others," NASA climatologist Cynthia Rosenzweig said in a recent post on one of the agency's websites. "But sea level rise is a very real challenge for all of the centers along the coast."
In other words, NASA has a lot of people and property potentially in harm's way, especially in a big coastal storm.

These days all the Astronauts and Aeronautical Engineers have been replaced by "climatologists" and muslim outreach specialists.
And they lie to us.
IF they’re right (and, I don’t think they are)... they better get cracking. They only have 100 years to come up with suitable remediation.
Liars.
This is the prostitution of science.
NASA is playing along with this Fascist hoax to secure more funding to “study” a nonexistent problem.
Just trolling for budget $$$
So why doesn’t Ellis Island and all of the east coast have the same problem?
Past time to shut NASA down.
So build the space elevator already....
But they can't take off underwater.
I suggest then that NASA get in touch with the Thunderbirds, it's just as realistic a premise as this article.
As usual, pure blather.
But, first NASA does not even go to LEO anymore.
Second, destroying NASA will help Moslem esteem,
as NASA really, really wants.
Or the Science Ninja Team. (AKA “G-Force”.)
And what would happen if more people in the Continent built DAMS, and started STORING water. Why don’t they FLOOD the Dead Sea with Sea Water and fill some of the caverns left in mines with water. There has to be a solution. If they stopped up and cut off the Amazon, the Nile, the Mississippi and put that water in a place to seep back into EARTH...seems like it would stop the rising of the seas....
Because they are further “Downhill” (South) and water runs downhill, then when it hits the Equator it stops and begins to backup. ;)
Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t much of that property underwater for ages until just before they started using it in the 1950s?
“Rising sea levels caused by melting ice caps threaten to disrupt a handful of NASA launch sites along U.S. coastlines, the space agency warns”.
BULL S-—T!
I have lived 50 miles up the coast from those launch pads and been on that beach since the ‘60’s it’s no different now than it was back then.
I have had it with the outright lying that our government is engaged in.
FUBO!
Good one!!
Yep. The fiscal year is coming to an end, and a crisis atmosphere always helps your overinflated budgetary request for the next year sail through Congress.
Rising water never seemed to bother the Dutch.
