Very interesting. Just talked to the Director of Public Utilities of Sheboygan and there IS talk of building the Space Port in the Armory building there! They are trying to secure funding for it. There is no talk of a runway or landing in the Lake, however. ROFLMAO!!!! My friends back there are now thinking of building a tower on their house to watch the shuttle landings and wonder when tsunami warnings will be posted along the lakeshore. LOL
Since this is being designed for private entrepreneurs, I'm guessing they're not doing it with Space Shuttle-type vehicles in mind. If there are humans going up in these things, I would assume that the method of coming back down to the surface will involve mostly parachutes.
