Airport Seeks to Evict Space Perspective
Space tourism company Space Perspective faces eviction from its leased facility at Space Coast Regional Airport and now wants a judge to intervene.
The balloon-capsule tourism company cites “significant investment” at the airport and says relocating is not immediately viable. A hearing is set for March 5.
The Titusville-Cocoa Airport Authority seeks to repossess the company’s trio of leased airport properties, including a 700-foot-long balloon manufacturing facility, citing $90,295 in unpaid rent.
NASCAR drivers embraced President Trump’s attendance at Sunday’s Daytona 500. “Any time you get big-name people to come to the 500 it’s pretty special,” two-time NASCAR Cup champion Kyle Busch said.
The president’s motorcade arrived at the speedway by driving onto a portion of the track and later led drivers on two ceremonial laps to the roar of the sold-out crowd. Five-year-old Carolina Trump shared the ride with her grandfather. You can see photos here.
In a message released as he flew to Daytona Beach from West Palm Beach, Trump said the Daytona 500 brings together people from all walks of life in a “shared passion for speed, adrenaline, and the thrill of the race.”
“From the roar of the engines on the track to the echo of ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ soaring through the stands, the Daytona 500 is a timeless tribute to the speed, strength, and unyielding spirit that make America great,” he said. “That spirit is what will fuel America’s Golden Age, and if we harness it, the future is truly ours.”
Florida Best for Tying the Knot
A new WalletHub study identified Florida as a premier destination for couples planning their weddings, with three Florida cities ranking among the top five in the nation. You can see the study here.
The study of 180 U.S. cities examined factors such as cost, facilities, services, and local attractions to determine the most favorable locations for tying the knot, with the average wedding costing $35,000.
Orlando claimed the top position, praised for its vast selection of wedding service providers and guest-friendly amenities. Miami secured the third spot on the list, with Tampa ranking fifth.
Las Vegas and Atlanta filled in the remaining top five. Fort Lauderdale ranked 10th.

$2.1T in Untapped Potential – Time’s Running Out to Invest
After centuries of burning coal, most people still haven’t realized its true market value. Frontieras North America did… and their breakthrough patented technology unlocked at least 8 new and profitable ways to use coal—and a $2.1T opportunity in the markets.
Their technology is unleashing the 21st century’s “Rockefeller Moment” in the energy space… and you still have a few weeks to capitalize on it by becoming an early investor.
It’s similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. And if this company captures just 2% of the global coal market, they have a clear roadmap to achieve a $1T valuation.
Their tech is simple: rather than burning coal and wasting trillions of dollars in resources locked within it, their process extracts those resources for the global commodities markets:
Diesel – $935B market
Jet fuel – $391B market
Naphtha – $249B market
Hydrogen – $242B market
Fertilizer – $212B market
Metallurgical coal – $147B market
And more
Their technology has already been validated by a successful operation in Texas. They’re building their first $850m facility soon in West Virginia, followed by more facilities across North America.
Don’t miss your chance to capitalize on the major breakthrough that will trigger the next “Rockefeller Moment” in the global energy space. Their current public offering will be closing on March 13th… become an early investor, while you still can!
