Michigan based CST companies?

[doctorkoan]

Hi, I'm new to the board. Does anyone know if there are any companies based in Michigan that have civilian space travel/transport related projects going on?<br />Also, is there anything out there (studies, reports, whatever) that discusses the potential economic impact of civilian space travel on the state level? I'm looking for something that state polititians might find useful or interesting.

I can't speak about any companies in michigan, but I know how I'd go about looking into the economics of space travel on a state level. I'd contact the legilative libraries for California, New Mexico, and Florida to start with. I believe all of them have civilian spaeports under development, and you can bet they've already compiled this kind of information for their lawmakers. <br /><br />Good luck on your quest. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> Brian J.

Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government."</em></strong></font></p><p><font size="1" color="#993300"><strong>Thomas Jefferson</strong></font></p></font> </div>
