KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. -

It's a coastline like no other. A pristine, untouched, Florida landscape with the history of space exploration on its shores.

The Kennedy Space Center has sent manned rockets into space, launching them over the Atlantic Ocean, for nearly 50 years.

Now researchers say a section of beachfront just beyond the iconic launchpads 39A and 39B is washing away at an alarming rate.

University of Florida researchers say climate change and rising sea levels are to blame.
[And the rising sea levels are due to global warming.]
