5/23/13, "Nasa to lease Cape Canaveral shuttle launch pad," BBC

 "The facility is one of two launch pads built in the 1960s as part of the Apollo Moon programme.

It has supported more than 90 launches since November 1967.

But after the end of Nasa's space shuttle programme two years ago, Complex 39A and many other facilities became redundant.

The US space agency said some 150 facilities at the Florida spaceport had been demolished or transferred to commercial operators, Reuters news agency reports."...getty photo via BBC. (Above photo of Cape Canaveral launch pad has been turned upside down in recognition of this event by this blog).
