I've watched this development excitedly from the beginning. I couldn't attend the groundbreaking, but I was able to visit the site a few days later. That was my 4th attempt in 2 years to locate the site, incidentally.
Patrik609, don't blame the last 30 years of stagnation on Bush! None of the presidents since Kennedy has made space exploration a bold part of his agenda. I don't exactly blame them, either. This is a huge risk with only remote payoff. Don't think this is a sure thing.
I am absolutely excited about reigniting studies of space which had been stagnating under the previous administration. It's a definite advancement for knowledge, experience, and brilliant work on the organizers' part to promote science and math studies within the state, as well as an enormous boost to the local job market. As to Sasha's comments, focus your enviro agitation to community education in avoiding consumption of beef, alternates to hot water heaters, the automotive industry, etc.
Oh great, just what the world needs. A Super Polluting Commercial Space Launching Station. If you thought a major global warming culprit was personal cars and jets flying all over the globe, now we have personal rockets to blow anyone up into space that has the money. Did any corporate "genius" think to calculate the environmental impact?
