After reading the responses to my query on shuttle landings at KSC and the
use of Vandenburg for future launches, I was wondering about the possibility
of using Hawaii.  I had heard that it was up for consideration regarding the
launching of commercial vehicles and was wondering what the chance was of
building a new shuttle launch facility there.  It has ocean to protect against
a debri from another Challenger type accident as well as nice weather.
