Space offers unlimited opportunities for our future as a County , a State , a Country , and for the human race .”
What is your vision for Volusia County ’ s role in the space industry over the next 20 years ?
To realize the importance of the World ’ s Spaceport here in our state , and in our area . The future is space , and other states want a spaceport to be located in their states . So , I say to those that do not like “ change ,” please rethink those thoughts , or we will end up being like small town America in coming years , wishing we had done a better job of attracting and keeping high paying jobs .
However , as I have gotten older , I do not like small spaces , and probably would not be a good passenger in a capsule . I did obtain my private pilot license .
Space offers unlimited opportunities for our future as a county , a state , a country , and for the human race . The list is too long to put here of all the things we can and will do . And I am confident the list will grow as we learn new things from space exploration ; things we do not even know about today .
If you could go to space next year , would you go ?
When I was a teenager and was asked what I wanted to be someday , the normal answers from others were doctor , lawyer , fireman , etc . I said an astronaut !
