As a sailor since I was ten, I learned early in life never to pee into the wind, which is exactly what Alaska Aerospace wants to do here launching on the windward side of the island into the tradewinds.
I’m not against a rocket launch facility, but it should be downwind on the south west coast of the island as the predominate tradewinds come from the north east so that everything flies offshore over the ocean.
Why risk having any debris or rocket fuel pollution rain down on our community and agricultural crops? Common sense. Some are exaggerating my position here and twisting it into something it’s not.
