Florida

Florida was a state of the United States of America, particularly important to NASA and the American space industry. The eighth Doctor visited Florida in 1989, in an effort to steal the Atlantis. Whilst there, he spent time in Titusville and the shuttle launch facilities at the Cape. (EDA: Father Time)

According to one account of Dodo Chaplet's early life, she had been taken to the Florida Everglades as a child by her parents. The experience of seeing so many different species in one place made Dodo realize that the world was place of extreme diversity, and that she wanted to see more of it. (PDA: Salvation). This account, however, was at extreme odds with another one, in which her parents would likely have been far too poor to have ever taken her to Florida in their short lifetimes.
