Uh, no, that's not how this works.

Since you seem to be concerned about the space program, I'll explain what would happen to the space program in a secession situation.

In short, it's fucked.

In a secession situation the first thing that would happen would be the detaining and deportation of federal officers who aren't willing to work with the new government, followed by seizure of federal property in the territory. That means NASA.

In all likelihood, the NASA complex at Houston would be seized and requisitioned by the Texas National Guard.

Once an agreement for a peaceful secession is hammered out, it might be possible to lease the complex back to NASA, though frankly I doubt the breakup of the Union will be that peaceful. I think it can be done without war, but I don't think there will be any spirit of cooperation after it happens.

To be frank, the space program will be the first causality of the end of the Union.
