Overview Ten Years Ago – Today – Ten Years On A Quick Look at Florida’s Space History (64 Years condensed into thirty seconds) Prognosticating on The Future New Opportunities New Competitors New Launch Vehicles & Spacecraft
A Reminder of Ten Years Ago Space Shuttle not flying – US recovering from Columbia accident American access to Space Station via Russian Soyuz “taxi” NASA photos
Today Space Shuttle not flying – US ended the program American access to Space Station via Russian Soyuz for $72M per seat NASA photos
Ten Years On Space Launch System operational American access to Space Station via commercial space “taxis” Boeing NASA
A Quick Look at Florida’s Space History Active since 1950 Almost 3,400 launches from “The Cape” USAF photos NASA

What’s The Future?
The Space Industry is Transitioning! … … … Private Sector Role Increasing! Global Space Industry Revenues from Commercial Sources, far exceed Government! Even without Sequestration, Federal Budgets for Space will be severely constrained. The Long-Standing Policy of Commercial Reliance in Government … … will Increase!
Positioning Florida as the most attractive place for public and private investment The Opportunity
Commercial Operators will have multiple options outside of Florida Increasing Space Industry Competition
