Congressman Bill Posey is telling the President, you promised to give NASA priority in your administration, and now it's time to make good.

"The President has often said he wants our economy to be a high tech economy. We have cell phones like we're talking through now because of NASA, laptops developed through NASA. We look at the GPS weather satellites, that all came from NASA."

But all of that can be done somewhere else besides Kennedy Space Center. Without the President extending the life of the shuttle, the job may fall to Space Florida. The state agency is in turmoil though, after an audit showed they don't even have a gameplan yet, despite millions of tax dollars that have already been poured into the agency. Budget hawks are looking to slice Space Florida right out of the picture. Estimators say 38 thousand jobs could be lost when the shuttle goes away. Space Florida got 14.5 million dollars from the state last year, and is asking for 10 million this year.
