Yea it's insane and that is just one company there. That whole area has places like that, with Gruman, Space X, DRS, Locheed, Martin Marietta (sp?) the list goes on and on.. There is billions in govt contracts in that area not to mention the non govt work those type of companies do..
You wouldn't think it, just by looking and driving around, but there is a lot of big money around there it's just not a big money looking area.
Anyway if you ever stay down there again, go to downtown Melbourne.. Lots of little bars and a pretty decent down town scene (Foobar is my favorite). They have a Friday Fest every 2nd Friday of the month where they close off the roads in downtown and have a block party.
