let's throw a rocket race!

The Federal Aviation Authority approved Jacksonville's Cecil Field, a former naval air station, for use as a commercial spaceport.  Unfortunately, it's probably too little too late to attract space entrepeneurs.  Lack of infrastructure support for large-scale, high tech manufacturing has already caused Jax to be turned down by the likes of Virgin Galactic.  Other space tourism companies are few and far between, and have 6 other national spaceports to choose from.

So, let's throw a rocket race!

The Rocket Racing League pits horizontal take-off Rocket Racers against each other.  Let's not let our 12,500ft runway and smancy new license go to waste.
