Governor Ron DeSantis has proposed moving NASA’s headquarters to the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, calling it a fitting choice given the region’s role as the “rocket launch capital of the world.” DeSantis criticized the current Washington, D.C., headquarters, suggesting it could be shut down in favor of a new location in Florida. The announcement came during a press event highlighting the launch of the Florida University Space Research Consortium, a collaboration between NASA and several state universities aimed at advancing space research and technology.
