Giuliani to tour KSC

Presidential contender Rudy Giuliani will make a 90-minute private tour of Kennedy Space Center before an afternoon meeting with Brevard officials, who hope to encourage the Republican candidate to make increased funding for the space industry a campaign issue.

The former New York City mayor will tour a spacecraft assembly building and will view shuttle Atlantis on Pad 39A, where it is being prepped for a Feb. 7 launch.

After the tour, Giuliani will meet with space industry officials in Port Canaveral. He was the only candidate to accept an invitation from the Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast.

Once the front runner, Giuliani is seen as making his political last stand in the Florida primary on Jan. 29.
