This was laid out in the 50’s, sure there is plenty of wide open land, hence the launch location. Nothing else there though. Florida couldn’t then or now supply the technical folks in numbers like Houston or Pasadena Ca or Huntsville AL> Give Johnson credit, he saw Floriduh for what it is a long time ago
Yeah. I'll give Johnson credit, just like I give Tip O'Neill credit for bringing jet engine production to Lynn, Massachusetts. (Except that O'Neill just benefited a business in Lynn. He didn't create a huge new government bureaucracy.)
