When we moved here in 2009, we took a bus tour on the CCAFS side. The docent said that Ted Kennedy had Cape Canaveral's name changed to Cape Kennedy because "the Kennedys hate Florida." I also heard one claim that JFK had a secret love nest on the Cape which is why he chose here for KSC. (2/2)

NASA’s Orion spacecraft had its first flight into space 10 years ago today, aboard a ULA Delta IV-Heavy from CCAFS. I was there and got this shot during its early morning liftoff.

I have a picture of one of the CCAFS launch complexes from the "Then and Now" KSC tour, in preparation for a launch, ca. 2012.

Definitely. I totally get it. For me it wasn’t.

There was the one benefit of being badged to CCAFS/CCSFS and traveled there frequently.

Hanging out on the old Mercury Launch pad building watching the ocean and sitting at the Apollo 1 pad skygazing are lou life high points.

Modeling the role of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, uPA, and circulating cancer-associated fibroblasts (cCAFs) in breast cancer cell extravasation - Clinical & Experimental Metastasis
Circulating Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (cCAFs) have been identified in circulating tumor cell clusters from all stages of disease progression in breast cancer patients. We have shown that CAFs promote lung metastases in the mouse tail vein model when they are clustered with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB231 cells. Following on this observation, we saw that MDA-MB231-luciferase labeled cells persist at higher levels when present in CAF23/MDA-MB231 co-clusters compared to MDA-MB231 mono-clusters within the first 3 days after tail vein injection. This prompted us to investigate whether CAFs aid cancer cell extravasation from capillary venules into the lung parenchyma, which would impart better survival and faster seeding of metastases. Ex vivo lung extravasation assays showed that within the first 8–24 h after tail vein injection, more cells from CAF23/MDA-MB231 co-clusters extravasated than cells from MDA-MB231 mono-clusters.

yes I worked in a CCAFS burn box NEPA EA for used EODs and contaminated space shuttle parts… Did air toxics modeling for it. Most approved air models for toxics do 1 chemical at a time. The chemicals react together.

Insane article. The vast majority of this increase is because we were exposed to burn pits in Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s our generation’s agent orange.

As a burn pit veteran myself, the economist is absolutely wrong here. My guess is there were no burn pit vets on the board that wrote this
