Further north means higher launch costs. Just something to consider in
weighing all the economics.
Further inland, to higher ground, not necessarily much further north. Property values are still modest in that area.
I don't see a move inland because they aren't going to routinely
launch over inhabited areas. Too much liability.
If launch costs bother you that much, Hawaii could be cheaper given its more southerly latitude.
Maybe. It depends on the transportation costs associated with moving
everything off the continental U.S.
