BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – As the Space Coast prepares for Thursday’s scheduled launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station, officials also are preparing for potential traffic tie-ups, reports News 6 partner Florida Today.
There could be 200,000 or more people coming into Brevard County for Thursday’s SpaceX Crew-2 launch, according to Brevard County Communications Director Don Walker. The launch is scheduled for 6:11 a.m. from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.
As another generation of astronauts launches from the Space Coast now on SpaceX rockets Thompson is seeing a resurgence of revenue tied to the space program. And so are other local businesses, ranging from hotels to gas stations.
Space Coast Office of Tourism Executive Director Peter Cranis said an estimated 220,000 people from outside the county came to Brevard for the first SpaceX Crew Dragon human spaceflight last May.
Unlike in the shuttle era, the Office of Tourism now can track visitor counts through a sophisticated method of using cellphone signals, and can determine how many of the phones in a particular area are from out of the county.

First Cubs homer by team s top sluggers, Part 1 By JohnW53 on Apr 9, 2021, 7:08am CDT +
832 have
Nearly two thirds of those who homered
541, to be exact hit fewer than 10, including
199, nearly 1 in 4, who hit exactly 1.
The careers of those with a lone home run cover the team s entire history in the National League, from Ross Barnes, Cal McVey and Deacon White, in 1876; through Billy Hamilton, Josh Phegley, Steve Souza Jr. and Ildemaro Vargas in 2020; and Joc Pederson this season.
The latter 5 are just the latest of
45 who have homered just once for the Cubs starting in 2000.
All those numbers just go to show that, when a player hits his first homer for a team, there is no telling how many more he may hit if any.
