Who else is using Space Port??

SpinLaunch!! https://www.spinlaunch.com/
These guys are a hoot! What an idea and I would love to hang around a bunch of really smart young peeps like this with financial backing to follow their dreams. :rock: SpinLaunch.

Virgin Galactic is the "anchor tenant" and there are a bunch (or maybe less) of smaller outfits that are renting space and trying to make a go of it.

The locals as a whole, are not happy with increased taxes to pay for the Space Port and that is understandable. If it ever takes off and their property values skyrocket, they may change their minds however. It's a ballsy proposition and I admire the politicians who have taken the risk but it may end up biting them in the ass. How do you make a million dollars in aviation... :scratch:

Spinlaunch is incredibly silly, far more so that Virgin Galactic. Slingatron is similarly silly. But these guys https://ivolimited.us/ take the prize for not just ignoring engineering but also ignoring basic physics. They apparently got investment money for an orbital test. :doh:
