It really is very sad to see another space era come to an end. My hat is off to all the men and women who made history come to life for our area and the entire world. A great many of us live in this area simply because the space jobs brought our families here in the first place. We owe much gratitude to the pioneers of the space industry. I remember back in the day at good old Pineda elementary, they would let us out to see the rocket launches. If you can imagine all the little kids anxiously watching the skies for the launch while looking for that bright light in the east. A lot of times it wouldn’t happen since someone forgot the matches to light the thing but other times we would see it go straight up but then do circles or zig-zag until they blew it up, now that was the best for us and they would get a standing ovation. Now if you will imagine the bravery it took for a man or woman to actually say “OK strap me in this little bitty thing and shoot me into space”. As the kids say OMG!
My hope is the next generation of space will bring jobs and great minds to our area and it is already happening. In my opinion this is the greatest place to live, raise a family and retire if you are so inclined but of course retirement is for sissies. To paraphrase Gloria Gaynor “We will survive”
Ada just closed a unit at Crescent Beach club for $365,000. This was a SE corner unit on the top floor with well over 2000 sq. ft., for we Realtors this was a win win situation for the buyer and seller which is what we live for in our world.
