Were there any problems w.r.t. politicis, one could simply use a large ex-oil-facility such as they use for Sea Launch - pointing might be a bit of a problem in heavy seas - but it would be a hell of a lot cheaper and easier than an orbital facility.
But of course we're missing the point. We don't need any of this and the huge budget it would require..what we need is a more moderate investment in the current DSN. Doug |
