the French have a really good one that the US has used in the past in french Guiana, and its better bc of how close to the equator it is, so the rotation of the planet helps launch the rockets more.
Exactly. It’s like when the US took all the Nazi scientists. Except that it’s pre-ww3…so I guess it’s more like when the US took all the German Jewish scientists before everyone else decided maybe letting the Nazis take all of Europe and slaughter millions of people was maybe a bad thing?
Breaking reliance on American launch sites will be a big deal.

Although I suspect we are importing U.S. technology and brains to do this.
Short term imports for long term self-reliance sounds like the right way to go to me
