Hester) Newsgroups: sci.space.shuttle Subject: Hawaii as a launching site Message-ID: Date: 19 Dec 89 01:05:52 GMT Lines: 13 After reading the responses to my query on shuttle landings at KSC and the use of Vandenburg for future launches, I was wondering about the possibility of using Hawaii. I had heard that it was up for consideration regarding the launching of commercial vehicles and was wondering what the chance was of building a new shuttle launch facility there. It has ocean to protect against a debri from another Challenger type accident as well as nice weather. Comments? ------- Nicholas C. Hester ia80024@Maine.Bitnet ia80024@Maine.Maine.edu
