'It means a lot to us. Obviously, Ohio is the path to the Moon.'
A British company is looking to build a new space research center and astronaut-style boot camp near NASA's facility.In fact, Brook Park City Council suspended the rules and passed the sale of land for Blue Abyss at a meeting Tuesday evening."It means a lot to us. Obviously, Ohio is the path to the moon," Mayor Edward Orcutt, city of Brook Park said.
"What's missing effectively, I think, is the human in the loop whose going to do the preparation, selection, and training of a future commercial astronaut training corps, future government astronaut, space tourists," John Vickers, Chief Executive of Blue Abyss said. "We got in the vehicle, took them to the land, showed it to them and we were able to convince them that this company would be best suited here," Orcutt said.The Brook Park location will be built around a very large, 150-foot deep, multi-level pool.
"They're not swimming pools. They're aimed at industry, whether that's marine offshore energy, maritime defense, subsea technology, human performance in extreme environments, or how do humans cope with green space environments," Vickers said.
