While trying to better describe the layout of the unbuilt parts of the LC-39 complex, I came across some unusual features just to the east of the Shuttle landing strip. I am wondering if anyone can describe what these odd "roads" might be? The location in the center is a large radio tower, but it is surrounded by... what is that? It appears to be some sort of civil works that dates back, perhaps something from the Apollo era?

Because much of the installation is a restricted area and only nine percent of the land is developed, the site also serves as an important wildlife sanctuary; Mosquito Lagoon, Indian River, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and Canaveral National Seashore are other features of the area. Center workers can encounter bald eagles, American alligators, wild boars, eastern diamondback rattlesnakes, the endangered Florida panther[citation needed] and Florida manatees.

On May 14, 1973, the last Saturn V launch put the Skylab space station in orbit from Pad 39A. By this time, the Cape Kennedy pads 34 and 37 used for the Saturn IB were decommissioned, so Pad 39B was modified to accommodate the Saturn IB, and used to launch three crewed missions to Skylab that year, as well as the final Apollo spacecraft for the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project in 1975.
Shouldn't the article (and the Lead) note that SpaceX's dragon is launched with NASA crews to the ISS on the Falcon from the Kennedy Space Center? -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
