<HS> Actually, the Australian desert is probably better than the Sahara for a
<HS> number of reasons, political stability among them.

And wasn't there some recent article about Australia setting up a
multinational spaceport, the first in the world, on their northern
coast? Having the launch&return port and also a large desert landing
area for payloads in the same general area (and under the same
government) would seem to have economic advantages.
