Rep. Donalds Introduces Bill to Move NASA Headquarters to Fla.
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who is running in Florida's governor's race, has introduced a bill in the House that would move NASA headquarters from the nation's capital to his home state.
The Consolidating Aerospace Programs Efficiently at Canaveral Act was introduced March 27 and is the House version of legislation that was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Rick Scott, R-Fla., and Ashley Moody, R-Fla.
According to The Hill, the bill seeks to relocate NASA headquarters to Brevard County, Florida, within a year of being enacted to join Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and Kennedy Space Center on Florida's Space Coast.
Supporters of the measure reportedly note that moving NASA to Florida makes sense, given the presence of the existing aerospace infrastructure in that area of the Sunshine State and the use of Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as NASA's primary launch sites.
