I am getting an 8 kun URL error
I get a url error but Bezos is building a space port on Van Horn. Can't sauce because 8 kun give s me a URL link doesn't comply error.
"We're excited. If Van Horn can be on the cutting edge of private space exploration, I'm all for it," said Ron Helms, 50, a white-hatted rancher.
"In the past they've had things out here like New York City sewer sludge and low-level nuclear waste sites. But this one isn't a black eye for us. It's a clean, progressive, optimistic thing."
With dozens of construction workers working on the spaceport and spending money in town the project has already given the local economy a nice boost. Long term, however, no one really knows how many permanent local jobs will result.
So far, officials at Blue Origin, the company Bezos founded to develop the space project, have not been exactly chatty about their plans.
"We're all happy about it, but they don't tell us anything. We're kept in the dark," said Culberson County Judge John Conoly, 77, who has held the post for 32 years.
"It's a private enterprise thing, so I guess they don't have to tell us anything. We don't want to bug them or alienate them, so we just wait for them to tell us what they want us to know."
Test flights planned
What little is known was revealed recently in a draft of an environmental assessment produced for the Federal Aviation Administration. The study, which is necessary for Blue Origin to obtain federal permits to operate, turned up no significant obstacles to the spaceport.
"Blue Origin proposes to launch reusable launch vehicles on subortibal ballistic trajectories to altitudes in excess of 99,060 meters (325,000 feet)," reads the 229-page document posted on the FAA Web site.
That 60-mile altitude is roughly nine times the cruising altitude of a modern passenger jet. The moon, by comparison, is about 240,000 miles from Earth.
Plans call for the 50-foot-tall conical rockets, powered by hydrogen peroxide and kerosene, to make vertical landings at the West Texas site.
The document says Blue Origin hopes to begin test flights to altitudes of 2,000 feet later this year. By comparison, the Empire State Building in New York is 1,453 feet tall.
Over the next three years, Blue Origin plans to increase the rate of test flights to as many as 25 a year. Within four years, commercial manned flight could begin with as many as 52 launches in a year, according to the study.
At a public hearing attended by about 50 people last week in Van Horn, only three people signed up to speak and none had anything critical to say about the project. Nine of those present were journalists, and only about a third of the attendees were from Van Horn.
"Blue Origin is hoping to receive their experimental permits before the end of August, which would clear the way for test flights of prototype vehicles. At this point, the chances are good that their environmental review will be approved," said Doug Graham, an FAA environmental specialist who conducted the hearing.

God's armor isn't an issue.
Clean 'em if you got 'em
After cleaning 'em
Load 'em.
Be prepared.
Great if not needed.
Bad if needed and do not have.
I have faith in myself
And God.
Humanity has lost that faith from me. Humanity has to prove itself worthy again. Trusting in humanity only gets me burned. Every. Single. Time. That's reality down here IRL
I am waiting for the awakening but some folks are frankly stubborn retards.
Pull the trigger Q. Do it.
Drop the truth that blows away the narrative.
been asking for a name for days. Who are the (they) by name. They= conspiracy theory. Name = investigative targets.
