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. If launch costs bother you that much, Hawaii could be cheaper given its more southerly latitude. |

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. There is no need to launch over inhabited areas, there is still enough mostly vacant land on the mainland that could be bought out. Another possibility is that runway-launched craft might be developed eventually, which would carry little more liability than existing aircraft that occasionally fall out of the sky, killing those on whom they land. 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. Not everything would need to be moved. Some missions would be better launched from Florida, others from Hawaii. |

There are those who say that if global warming (by man) is real, then we should do nothing today because the technological solutions we have will bankrupt the world. Well, that almost seems like a reasonable response, given the solutions usually proposed, that probably would come close to bankrupting the world. The solution we have, though, that wouldn't bankrupt the world, that would allow us to continue enjoying an abundant supply of energy, to fuel a vibrant economy... keeps getting ignored. You see, there's this element called uranium... John Savard |
