#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.

#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.
