In 1971 , Utah lawmakers passed a proposal to create a “Space Port Committee’s” committee.

The committee would include lawmakers, academics, aerospace industry representatives and four members chosen by the governor.

Utah would lose out to Cape Canaveral , Florida , and all 135 Space Shuttle flights would later lift off from Kennedy Space Center .

The new committee would have until September 2026 to complete its assessments.
