## Resource

Kennedy Space Center’s aging infrastructure is straining under the weight of skyrocketing launch demand—dozens this year, over a hundred last year, with projections hitting 500 to 1,000 annually. Critical systems for fuel, power, and logistics are outdated, dating back to the 80s, and urgently need a $1 billion overhaul. While $250 million has been secured, lawmakers are turning to private investment models to close the gap. With private companies increasingly reliant on the facility, a collaborative push between government and industry is emerging as the key to modernizing the Space Coast for the next era of space exploration.
