h (Rand Simberg) :

On 12 Dec 2004 11:29:53 -0800, in a place far, far away,
made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way
as to indicate that:

I am on the next island East of the Virgin islands, Anguilla. We have
a nice new long runway that aims out over the ocean with nothing upwind
of us till Africa. :-)

They didn't seem very happy there about hosting a spaceport on
Sombrero...

One of the most stupid decision made I think. Since the island is occasionly
swept clear by major storms it is hard to see it as a needed protected
enviroment. As a rocket base I have tried to find better on a map of the
caribean. The only other choice I personally found is Montserrat Island,
where I think the locals would like the econimic boost a space port would
bring.
