Spaceport Campbeltown?

Postby StephenJ » Thu Jun 08, 2006 2:16 pm

Anyone heard anything about the rumour that Virgin Galactic are considering running space flights from Machrihanish in the not too distant future?

Questions must be asked:

Would an interplanetary space port bring benefits to the local economy or would it get cancelled after a couple of years like the Irish Ferry?

Would local shopkeepers open on a Wednesday afternoon for visitors from Zeta Reticuli and Sirius?

Could off-duty extraterrestrial military personnel safely walk the streets on weekend evenings?

Will the road to the drome be upgraded or will West Coast Motors be running hoverbuses?
