Texas Rocket Launches Anger Some (Source: TheFacts)
A representative from Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge, an amateur rocket club, a spaceport development corporation and land owners are hoping to put some space between themselves after a recent launch that had some club members venturing onto private property seeking downed craft. The Houston-based Tripoli Rocketry Association sponsored amateur rocket launches last weekend for the first time at the open-plained site of the Gulf Coast Regional Spaceport near Demi-John island. After the launches, land owners, avid bird watchers and cattle barons are asking the club and the Gulf Coast Regional Spaceport Development Corp. to move their launches further from the refuge and private property.
