Almost 10 years ago, I perked up when Musk had that site (and some
others) in his sights. It's only about a 2 hour drive over there - a
lot better than the 5 and a half to Canaveral. However, Musk soon
chose Texas instead, and at the end of that day going forward, I
literally deperked and quit thinking about it. The Camden County
commissioners should have quit then, too. They could have saved a lot
of money.
