Account Deleted By User This morning, Launch Pad Set 17 was destroyed in a controlled demolition at Cape Canaveral, which I believe was conducted as a landmark event to usher in future plans.  The following articles have significant clues to how this event is a landmark event similar to when they demolished the Twin Towers, but on a much smaller scale.  "Twin launch towers tumble at Cape Canaveral's historic Launch Complex 17"  in an instant Thursday morning, the twin launch towers at Launch Complex 17 collapsed in a cloud of dust, brought down by controlled explosions as about 100 spectators looked on  Brig. Gen. Wayne Monteith, commander of the Air Force’s 45th Space Wing, presided over a brief demolition ceremony that closed a storied chapter in Cape history, while opening another that could see the private sector take a lead role in exploration.  The above excerpts are obviously alluding to the death and rebirth of a new space race. I don't believe it's an accident that a commander from the 45th Space Wing was the emcee and Trump is the 45th POTUS who is closing doors and opening new ones. Remember that Trump recently called for a "space force." "My administration is reclaiming America's heritage as the world's greatest space-faring nation," he went on. "The essence of the American character is to explore new horizons and to tame new frontiers. But our destiny, beyond the Earth, is not only a matter of national identity, but a matter of national security."  He said when it comes to defending America, "it is not enough to merely have an American presence in space. We must have American dominance in space."  “We are getting ready to leap into the future.”  "Very importantly, I'm hereby directing the Department of Defense and Pentagon to immediately begin the process necessary to establish a space force as the sixth branch of the armed forces. ... We are going to have the Air Force, and we are going to have the Space Force, separate but equal."  But, when was the decision made to destroy the towers?  June 6, 2018 - Six weeks into his new job, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine... was asked about the status of the human exploration roadmap NASA was supposed to submit to Congress last December.  “We’re putting it together,” he replied, offering no details, but asserting that Congress is “going to like it.  It will be great.”  Trump announced his desire to create the Space Force on June 18th. Although, it's stated in the article that... Most recently, the site was home for more than 20 years to United Launch Alliance’s workhorse Delta II program, which flew the last of its 110 missions from the Cape nearly seven years ago, sending a pair of gravity mapping probes to the moon for NASA on Sept. 10, 2011. The $2 million demolition project had been in the works since then. Notice the numerical symbolism - Delta II, 110, 2011  Remember how Trump said the Air Force and the Space Force would be separate, but equal? Remember that 17A and 17B were destroyed in a controlled demolition. With a warning siren, a final 3-2-1 countdown and cry of “fire in the hole!”, explosives flashed with loud bangs near the bases of the nearly 200-foot-tall mobile and fixed towers at pads 17A and 17B, sending them toppling sideways in opposite directions. Closing the Door on Mistakes? The following is reminiscent of the Twin Towers. Amid all its successes, Launch Complex 17 played host to one of the Cape’s most spectacular rocket failures of the modern era, when a Delta II exploded a few hundred feet off pad 17A on Jan. 17, 1997. Chunks of flaming solid rocket propellant rained down on the pads, destroying cars parked nearby and forcing smoke inside the shaken blockhouse where the launch team was gathered. No one was injured. Opening the Door to Success? Complex 17 already has a new tenant, Moon Express, a private company that plans to perform short-hop tests of a small lunar lander that could fly missions for NASA and other customers. I realize this information seems disjointed, but there's a lot here to mull over and several dots to connect. Your help would be appreciated as I believe this is a huge milestone in Trump's presidency and gives us a good look into what is on the horizon.  https://www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2018/07/12/twin-towers-tumble-cape-canaverals-historic-launch-complex-17/776026002/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-space-force-pentagon-create-military-space-force-national-space-council-meeting-2018-06-18/ https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/bridenstine-upbeat-on-nasas-future-as-pew-survey-underscores-public-support/ Edit to Add: The excerpts above are mixed together in order to piece the puzzle together and add value to the situation as a whole.
