Welcome to Titusville
Titusville, Florida sits just across the water from Kennedy Space Center, and for three decades its economy and identity ran on the rhythm of Space Shuttle launches. This film follows residents as that program winds down, talking to the people whose jobs, businesses, and sense of purpose were tied to the launch schedule: engineers, shop owners, and longtime locals who watched the town grow up around NASA. Interviews trace what happens to a community built around a single employer when that employer stops hiring, from empty storefronts to families deciding whether to stay or leave. Rather than treating the shuttle program's end as an abstract policy story, the film keeps its focus on Titusville itself, showing how a national space milestone lands as a very local, personal loss. It is a portrait of a place defined by proximity to history, now figuring out what comes after.
