Why do I keep thinking about Denver International Airport when I read this? Does somebody own some land that they WANT to sell?
Given how fantastically expensive the SS or whatever would be to develop and operate... I can't imagine how the "investors" would ever hope to recoup their original investment, let alone make any kind of profit that would justify the risk.
I just keep thinking there has got to be something else we're not being told. Some other incentive or revenue source.
