CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Forty years of space history is being demolished at the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral as crews worked to begin dismantling historic launch pad 39-B.
It is not yet clear when launch pad 39-B will make history again. The pad is one of two used for both the Apollo and Shuttle programs.
Shuttle Discovery is prepared for its next flight on the only remaining pad, 39-A, where it is set to launch Monday.
The last time pad 30-B was used it launched an Aries 1X, which was to be the rocket to launch astronauts to the moon again. The Aries program has since been canceled.
The director of the space center said the future for NASA is bright.
“We have been directed to build a heavy-lift rocket ... that allows us to go anywhere,” director Bob Cabana said during a news conference.
Pad 39-B saw the return to flight after the Challenger accident and 53 other shuttle launches.
