I sympathize with you, but I'm talking about people willingly moving from environmentally more protected places like the Midwest, northern New England, and parts of NY state and PA to places like Arizona, most of Florida, Southeast Texas, and the West Coast. I think in 10-15 years, there will be a huge turnaround as temperatures rise even more, communities start fighting over water, and fires, hurricanes and other crazy weather events wreak havoc on communities.

Texas wasn't a place where launches occurred until SpaceX set up their Starbase in Brownsville. Thiokol corporation made the Shuttle booster rockets in Utah, where no launches occur. As a matter of fact, Cambridge, MA was under consideration to be the location for Mission Control before Houston. There are a number of aerospace companies in Maryland, which doesn't have any launch facilities either. I've seen interesting aerospace companies pop up in places that I would never have expected. Hermeus Aerospace comes to mind - they are in Georgia. Space Tango is in North Carolina. There is absolutely no reason why Pennsylvania couldn't have a robust aerospace industry. It has good universities and pretty good proximity to other good schools out of state. It's much more a matter of wanting it. I see the potential.

I recently moved here but still work 100% remote for my aerospace employer in Texas. My take is that Pennsylvania could seriously use an injection of Aerospace and space jobs. Maybe there is something that can be done at the state level? Not sure, but the state could attract a lot of talent if they took the initiative. I'd jump onboard any effort to make that happen.
