Scotland’s public sector Spaceport 1, located on North Uist island in the Outer Hebrides, hopes to start launches to the edge of space next year; but not on Sundays. This is being spun as observing the religious traditions of the locals rather than the actual truth – that there won’t be enuff business on offer to make Sunday launches necessary.
The launches will be for sub-orbital flights and Spaceport 1 is likely to be eclipsed by the private sector’s SaxaVord’s spaceport on the Shetland Isle of Unst as far as the first ever launch from Scotland and launches to orbit are concerned.
