	Las Cruces, NM will make a great location for a commercial spaceport. It's too bad that politics put so much of NASA's infrastructure in Gulf Coast states that are plagued by weather problems (e.g. launch delays). The sunny southwest is a much more logical place for launching spacecraft.

	Having them launch from Florida always seemed a bit odd. I lived there for a year and the weather was unpredictable. Arizona or New Mexico always struck me as a better place. __________________ "The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet." -William Gibson
