TITUSVILLE, Fla. – Though thousands may have been disappointed the SpaceX Falcon 9 did not launch Wednesday, businesses in Titusville are grateful for the boost, saying what was scheduled to be one-day event has now turned into a long weekend because of the scrub. “Now that they are scrubbed, people are here for a week,” said Ram BK, owner of BK Kayak Adventures.
Just weeks ago, Ram was worried for his businesses closed during the pandemic. “I was about to file for bankruptcy,” he said.
However, thanks to the federal Payroll Protection Program, he was able to not only survive, but thrive this weekend. "My businesses is twice as much busy right now," he said with booked kayak tours through the weekend.
