Florida has some lucrative assets for trade, which includes the gateway to space. Cape Canaveral and its launch pads will send private sector payloads into orbit.
An Israeli space entrepreneur is looking to send his company’s radiation-proof vests to the International Space Station from Cape Canaveral.
“Our AstroRad radiation vest is manifested on that mission, which is the first mission to the moon since the Apollo missions in 1972, and we’re one of the highlights of this mission,” said Oren Milstein the CEO of StemRad.
“We feel that this will be the catalyst for future Orion missions that will eventually take us to the moon for landing, for living there, and ultimately to Mars,” he continued.
