1. Beam me up, Scotty…

   And take a trip to Zeta Reticuli (maybe more like Ridiculi)

2. Man, I’d be first in line if the price tag wasn’t so prohibitive! What a ride that would be. Celebration Time   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Too bad it sounds like a trip for the rich only!

3. Just think what those first class suites on the Titanic cost.

   Didja read Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”? The best solution for launching Earth<>Moon was to use a loooong magnetic ramp.  On Earth they had to create a vacuum in the launch tube running up a mountain.  I ‘m pretty sure they used the rotation for an assist also.

4. One problem:

   Any possible orbital flight path from their location flies over inhabited areas of CONUS. This means the waste-of-taxpayer-money ‘spaceport’ will be limited to 5 min or so suborbital flights.

   (Hence why we launch from Vandenburg and The Cape...)
