$200M is a rounding error in the Federal Budget. Besides, it'll be able to access orbits that other launch pads can only access with greater expense. It's a good investment.

@crispius I don't think that's anywhere near enough. Government can't redecorate an office building for $100M.

Lol, true.

It’s probably gonna be a gravel parking lot with a chain-link fence and a construction trailer when they’re done.

@crispius @ZenHeathen Perhaps when they are finished construction and they are not launching anything they can rent it out as ‘The Lunch Pad’.

A simple sprucing up of Stornoway would cost more.

It’ll probably cost that just to degrease the headboard. 😈
