Cocoa Beach, Florida, faces a bleak post Apollo future as Skylab nears, with space industry cuts shrinking jobs from NASA contractors like McDonnell Douglas and Boeing. Retired residents flood in for cheap houses and sea views, while locals worry the town's economy hinges on a new space boom and the Kennedy Space Center's visitor draw fades.
