| #2 But what about the poor Pocket Mouse or the Kit Fox. This is an environmentally sensitive area and we need to block any development. |

| #1 Actually a good idea. New Mexico is a good location, for several reasons, and can tailor-make a spaceport to maximum efficiency. 1) Broad sections of the State have no overflights from commercial aircraft. 2) Large tracts of inexpensive undeveloped land, yet near a southern rail line (for xporting large equipment.) 3) A history with experimental rocketry. 4) Military tracking nearby. |
