Good morning

I would say go also!!

We use to go check it out when I lived in Melbourne. One time I got a flat tire, no spare, while on Canaveral...and there were no gas stations for about 15-20 miles...no store, nothing. I started going around the parking area to anyone who had an old chevy asking of they would sell me their spare tire. Finally a couple of old hippies who were living in their truck camper gave up a ride to a tire place, and we got them stoned and gave them a few bucks. We parted ways when they asked if they could come take a shower at our place. Directed them to the showers at the swimming area!

I lived in Cocoa late 70's/early 80's. Held maritime shuttle launch security. Interesting times keeping the Russian ships away from the SRB's they were trying to recover.
