You can forget any plans for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to tour Kennedy Space Center next week.
Local officials announced on October 18 that Mr. Trump intended to land at the former Shuttle runway, tour facilities, participate in a roundtable discussion with the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast, and then hold a campaign rally.
Apparently Mr. Trump is more interested in how many people can turn out to cheer for him.
Florida Today space journalist James Dean reports:
Donald Trump's campaign has scrubbed plans for the Republican presidential nominee to tour Kennedy Space Center and talk about the space program in Brevard County this week.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump will instead hold a rally at Orlando Sanford International Airport, a day after stops in St. Augustine and Tampa.
The switch apparently was made because no indoor venue near KSC was approved for a rally that would draw thousands of supporters, and available outdoor venues presented security concerns.
The article speculates that the Trump campaign still has time to schedule a KSC event before Election Day on Tuesday November 8.
Here in Brevard County, early voting begins on Monday October 24 and runs through Saturday November 5.
