Platform proposals

(Before It's News)

NASA is seeking new uses for three historic launch platforms that are no longer needed at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The trio of nearly identical mobile launch platforms, from which rockets lifted off for the moon and shuttles blasted into orbit, could be reused by commercial launch companies or repurposed as museum exhibits, artificial reefs or even oil rigs. Barring that though, NASA is also accepting proposals on how to dispose and recycle the three massive metal platforms.
