If you're ever interested, look up how many name changes this went through over the years. It almost seems like it was a typical Florida political thing. They didn't like that President Johnson renamed Cape Canaveral to Cape Kennedy. I think it became quite a battle. Eventually, Florida won out and the town is Cape Canaveral but where the space center is located was changed to Kennedy Space Center, or KSC.

I still don't trust that doofus won't rename it Musk Space Center if they ever "mend their relationship". (I think their feud is political theater myself.)
