They want to turn -Rickenbacker- into a space port?
I can't decide if this is one of the most awesome things I've ever heard, or one of the most improbable.
Why couldn't they have done this when I was, like, 8? I'd happily have stowed away on an orbital shot back then and probably not been noticed. Now I weigh too much to get onto a rocket without compromising the payload.
I wonder what sort of launches they'd be doing. Would we be able to see them from here?
The idea of sitting on my back porch in a lawn chair and watching them launch things into space is really attractive and fascinating.
