ACEIZE Tracking the current state of Science and Technology

SpaceX will be allowed to operate at Cape Canaveral. This will move the launch of SpaceX's Falcon rockets from the Marshall Islands to Florida. SpaceX has been largely funded by DARPA to date. Experts claim that SpaceX will now be in direct competition with Orbital Science, who run the Minotaur rocket. The US Air Force green lighted the 5 year license agreement. It pays to do good work with DARPA, I suppose.

The article does not state if the move to cape Canaveral affected this competition. The article also does not mention how Cape Canaveral will affect the costs of running the Falcon rockets. The article goes on to not state whether or not SpaceX will be using NASA technicians for their launches.
