Florida’s Kennedy Space Center faces a growing crisis as launch demand explodes - from 31 flights in 2020 to 109 in 2025, with projections reaching 268 per year by 2030 driven by SpaceX Starship and Blue Origin New Glenn. A new NASA Office of Inspector General audit reveals aging 1960s infrastructure struggling under the strain: crumbling roads seeing thousands more truck trips annually, bridges past their design life creating major bottlenecks, outdated electrical systems risking power failures during multi-launch campaigns, and shared gas pipelines unable to support simultaneous operations. This video breaks down the OIG report’s findings on roads, bridges, power, and funding barriers that currently prevent commercial partners from directly helping fix NASA-owned assets. As super-heavy vehicles prepare for hundreds of annual flights, is America’s busiest spaceport screwed? 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🎥 Video from Max Evans, Colleen Liedtke, Jerry Pike, D Wise, Space Coast Live, Starbase Live, Google Earth, thurdl01, Tesla. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
