During a recent trip to Cocoa Beach, I came to believe that momentum is building for something big to happen at the Kennedy Space Center. Refurbishment-repurposing is going on at the VAB (vehicle assembly building). A major aerospace company is bringing several hundred jobs to the "Space Coast" (for "manned aircraft design") and there are public announcements of other new activities.

Of course there continues to be launching of satellite rockets from the adjoining Canaveral Air Force Station.
Elon Musk, the man behind Space-X, the first commercial private rocket launching company, has tweeted that he has important announcements coming. But he is also "the man" at Tesla, Solar City and co-founded PayPal, so an announcement could be about any of them.

My pieces of information are all "rock solid" (only one of them is not public knowledge) and they may mean nothing even when combined, but if it happens, remember you heard it here first!
