Excerpt:
That has prompted NASA to advertise a long list of space center
facilities and equipment available for use, lease or, in some cases,
purchase by the right business.

Among them: Launchpad 39A, where shuttles took off; space in the Vehicle
Assembly Building, the 526-foot-tall structure first used to assemble
Saturn V-Apollo rockets; the Orbiter Processing Facilities, essentially
huge garages where the shuttles were maintained; Hangar N and its
high-tech test equipment; the launch control center; and various other
buildings and chunks of undeveloped property.

A lot of the stuff needs to be transferred by the end of 2013, when
federal maintenance money will run out. When it does, machinery will
start to rust, and buildings will deteriorate in the harsh coastal-marsh
environment of Cape Canaveral.
