According to Dr. Chirinjeev Kathuria, Chairman of PlanetSpace, "The propsed site will be similar to the Kodiak Launch Facility." (PlanetSpace evaluating two launch sites, CB Post, 1 June 2007)
From Information retrieved from the KLF Information Group Web Page keep in mind that:
1. "The (KLF) facility was constructed entirely with government funds. Launch receipts have not covered operational costs, requiring continual government subsidies to keep the facility operating."
2. "Taxpayer funds continue to be the sole support of the KLC - taxpayer federal funds coupled with grants from the State of Alaska now total 50 MILLION DOLLARS just for construction!"
3. "The KLC is commonly referred to as "Space Pork Kodiak" here in Kodiak."
