However, if the ship is launched from Costa Rica (a nation that did not sign the 1967 Outer Space Treaty), the point is moot.

You would have to whack a bunch of American-owned building lots to make room for that kind of spaceport. Would the gov't of Costa Rica be willing to chance exercising their eminent domain power for that and take the chance of invasion by the American military to protect American corporate interests?
