"Where?"

Not to Antarctica, that's for sure.

I know it's a cool place, and that's where I want to set up the launch facility, but I'm not venturing down there without nuclear powered long johns.

‘Great God, this is an awful place’, explorer Robert Falcon Scott recorded in his diary during his trek to the South Pole in 1912.

And he was so right. However, according to me, it has some advantages for space launch operations. For one thing, it pays for itself by providing desert irrigation, and all orbital destinations occur in a twenty-four hour period.

Nuclear powered long johns for me, though.
