clearly not Doooomeed with the level of funding they have had, and a 'KFC' wink that will bring the punters in, just to temper the excitement though "The review provides no timeline or budget for the complex’s construction, or estimates of any jobs created" So a great concept which may or may not happen.

They have used Vandenberg for polar launches - as does most US space launch operations.

They use two pads at Cape Canaveral

They are building a site at McGregor, Texas.

McGregor, Texas is the engine test site.

They're not allowed to launch into space from there or they'll get a $25 fine apparently. biglaugh That's what I read anyway.


The new launch site is being built at Boca Chica, Texas - down on the Gulf of Mexico.
