the moment that I saw it I said that's moon mountain because it looks you know we all love space mountain at disney world and it's round it's white and maybe might have a graphic on it one day but to me it's reminiscent of the surface of the Moon it's very distinct because it's a dome and people would say that's where we're going back to the moon that's moon Mountain imagine someone shot that false wall actually blown out that leads to the lobby area so there's another entrance so the stretch we're standing on is is the bunker that when Mission Operations were being held at the pads that weren't that far away with very explosive vehicles this is where the mission engineers would be safe they'd go down this is a concrete structure and below us there are a couple of levels at the top level there's the Mission Control and in there today are still the remnants of those old machines from the 60s right those old monitors and those big dials and you can can almost hear the ghosts of the engineers back in the 60s there are periscopes around us that people look through one of those people Wernher von Braun himself you know the man who built the rocket systems it took us to the moon this was one of those facilities that he used to build up our space program in the United States and so it's just a it's a thrill just to have it for our uses today as we build our little spacecraft that would become a very big thing as we reach out to them well we could never afford this as a private company it would be a big reach to Ford to be able to build infrastructure here but to be able to take what's here and renovate it you know for the you know hundreds of thousands of dollars it kind of takes to make it look good again and and livable and a nice place to work it's it's absolutely a great deal we would never be able to find 80 acres of beachfront property Cape Canaveral it's only through the great partnerships we have through space Florida through the state of Florida the Welcome that we have from the 45th wing and from Kennedy Space Center and all the people that want to help us do this this you know the the money is relatively small compared to the enormous amount of value and the support we have from the people around us
