In a letter to The Enquirer, Brian Frank argues the proposed U.S. Space Academy should be built on Florida’s Space Coast, not Ohio, after Gov. Mike DeWine said Ohio should be considered. Frank says the Florida site would let students witness rocket launches regularly.
Frank points to the Space Coast’s proximity to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. He says he watched launches there while serving as a naval officer in Orlando and on later visits; he also describes Ohio as a strategic location for advanced manufacturing of jet engines and other engineered equipment for space.
