NASA Monday (June 22) handed over control of its historic runway at the Kennedy Space Center where its space shuttles landed in Florida 78 times from 1984 to 2011. Now under the auspices of Space Florida, the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) will be repurposed to support a commercial spaceport for use with horizontally-launched spacecraft, the Air Force X-37B, and unmanned aerial vehicles. At 15,000 feet long and 300 feet wide, the SLF is one of the largest runways in the world.
