UK spaceport, phase two: Now where do we PUT the bleeding thing?

Gadget1024

The way this looks, the spaceport will be primarily for long haul passenger and a little bit of cargo. So putting it anywhere outside the UK or not in close reach of Eurostar makes it a bit pointless.

Can't see its primary purpose being satellite launches which are best served nearer the equator and don't need quick and easy access from London to the launch site.

Got to admit, having done the 24 hour flight to Aus in cattle class, a few hours in low orbit do appeal :)
