[i]Our primary launch location is Florida with Cape Canaveral. We've got Pad 40 on the Cape Canaveral side and then Pad 39A on the NASA side. We're actually building up 39A with relation to the Falcon Heavy. So probably the first off Heavy launch will be out the 39A pad, which is a fairly amazing pad with an amazing history, it's where Apollo 11 launched from. For the foreseeable future, we expect much of our activity to go out of the Cape Canaveral/Cape Kennedy area. We're also developing a launch pad on the south coast of Texas near Brownsville. We're awaiting on the final environmental approvals. We expect to get those soon. And we'll probably have that site active in a couple of years. Then of course we have our site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California for polar launches. As a rough guess, we'll have the NASA flights tend to go out of Pad 39A, Air Force intelligence flights go out of Pad 40, commercial geosynchronous flights go out of the Brownsville location and then all polar flights, government or commercial, out of Vandenberg. That seems like the logical breakdown.[/i]
