...clubs' explosive spread coincides with a more radical but so far less successful movement for a complete overturn of the 1963 ruling. On the federal level is the Religious Freedom amendment, a constitutional revision proposed by House Republican Ernest Istook of Oklahoma, which would reinstate full-scale school prayer.

Other local points of interest include the Brevard Community College Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory (planetarium shows, a rooftop telescope, space museum and hands-on exhibit hall), the Piper Aircraft factory (where those interested in aviation on a smaller scale can tour the assembly plant) and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (for living proof that nature and technology can coexist peacefully).
