Manned Spaceflight Returns to the Space Coast

It’s a big day for the Space Coast and the world as manned spaceflight returns to our shores for the first time in nearly a decade.Jim Banke will join us in our final hour and then for launch coverage leading up to the 4:33pm scheduled launch.Weather is a factor for this new manned vehicle, the Dragon Crew capsule from SpaceX.

Of course, WIDE OPEN WEDNESDAY allows you to take us anywhere you like when you call the show.That’s the case in our first two hours.For my part it looks like the mainstream press has met its match in White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. If a picture is worth 1000 words, could it also get you 20 years?Looks like the answer is…maybe!That’s IN A HANDBASKET this morning.

In Brevard the Emergency Management Director is leaving her post just as Hurricane Season hits.The timing seems odd, but we know very little.Florida Tech is under federal investigation.The implication is they failed to report serious crime on campus. Brevard Public Schools has a decision to make.They have lost a ton of sales tax revenue during the pandemic.Prior to the shutdown the collection was pacing above original estimates.Will they renew the tax referendum for the November ballot?Will they suck it up and tighten their belts?There are tough choices ahead.

After Murder Hornets you have to wonder when SNIPER MONKEYS arrive in the US!
