NASA is moving the fueling test of its SLS rocket to Monday as frigid temps move into Florida’s Space Coast this weekend

The Wet Dress Rehearsal is a critical test of the fueling and countdown of NASA’s SLS rocket, which could launch a crew of four as early as Feb. 6.

Last year’s Point-in-Time Count data revealed more than 2,700 homeless people in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties.

The SLS rocket arrived at its launch pad Saturday. Teams are working toward a launch as early as Feb. 6.

At a workshop Monday night, residents urged Brevard commissioners to put the renewal of a decade-long sales tax on this year’s ballot.

Unless it’s renewed, a half-cent sales tax funding Brevard County’s lagoon restoration program will expire after this year.

So far, the Space Coast has tallied 109 orbital rocket launches, with a potential to hit 110 by year’s end.

Fewer than 400 of the critically endangered North Atlantic right whales remain.

The dress rehearsal for NASA’s Artemis II launch will help prepare the astronauts for the real launch date, which is planned for no earlier than February.

Eligible Brevard County property owners can now receive larger amounts of money for septic system upgrades.
