The “privateers” running Antares/Cygnus are launching from there, genius.

And conservatives whined about it with their usual squeal, “The bill was larded up- it even has pork for NASA!!!’ Except it’s not. Damage repair from nbatural disaster is a justified expenditure in red state or blue. Of course, if the ‘severely conservative’ privateers had their way, Wallops would be and turned into beachfront condo properties

In the interest of fair reporting:

The Sandy Relief bill did not “die” earlier, it was killed because it had non Sandy Relief items attached to it.

Sand dunes had been built along the shoreline to protect nesting grounds for sea turtles, but much of that got wiped out.

On the other hand, we now have a much clearer view of the Atlantic Ocean.
