Rising seawater, NASA's launch pad is repelled

Rising sea levels are threatening most of NASA's launchers and multi-billion dollar infrastructure to train future astronauts.

From Canaveral Cape in Florida to the flight command center in Houston, the US Space and Aeronautics Agency (NASA) is struggling to build breakwaters or even have to move some facilities deep into the mainland.

According to AFP, 5 of NASA's 7 most important centers are located along the coast, because proximity to water sources is an urgent need of any rocket launcher or pilot shipyard.

Many NASA centers have faced soaring damage due to invasive seawater, coastal landslides and storms, according to a new report.

Among the institutions threatened with launchers played a historical role in the process of human conquest of the universe, it was the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, which witnessed the missions of Apollo bringing people to the moon.

And before the sea attack, the Bay Wallops Center in Virginia, which saw 16,000 missile launches since 1945, surrendered, and the next 'victims' could be the Ames Research Center at San Francisco and Langley Research Center in Virginia, where the $ 3.5 billion flight simulation infrastructure is located.
