^True I was very excited and all for until I saw the location for the vertical launch site was in the middle of my favorite stretch of Michigan wilderness ... now I’m conflicted. Damn good project for the state as a whole possibly more important than we can realize at the moment and I get it makes much sense to be close to Marquette which would effect some pristine wildness in all likelihood but man it’s a hard sell for me without knowing more specifics.
The Huron Mountains and the coast NW of Marquette are one of my favorite places on earth and the proposed site is roughly in between these spots.
