    Greetings from the Space Coast of Florida! You will love when the launches start. The beauty and power are mesmerizing. And the noise is minimal. Most people aren't aware, but Cape Canaveral is a very "natural" environment, with unique mangroves, varied wildlife, including wild hogs, American alligators and a huge variety of tropical birds. It's gorgeous and the rocket industry doesn't ruin anything about the environment.
    It sounds like the crew out there are building with an eye for sustainability, minimal footprint and overall interest in studying and protecting the environment. All good things. Plus, watching rockets launch is COOL!!!! We can seriously see then from our back yard (garden)!

      That is info l didnt know, and I'm glad to hear it, very interesting. The trouble is for those of us who know Sutherland and the precious peat bog, it's a worry however much they try to convince us that it's all environmentally safe,

    What a fantastic video and topic. I have been mad on Space ever since I saw all the Apollo Missions on TV as a boy in Black and White. The Moon Walk I saw on Colour TV at a B & B in Newton Stewart on our holiday. We went up the West Coast to the top and back down the down the East Coast. That's when we took in Loch Ness. I always thought we would see a load more as I got older but it was not to be. This is great news and I hope I live long enough to see it all. Keep well and safe. James

  • @paca_bill4863
    @paca_bill4863 2 роки тому +2

    Very cool! Of course, local traffic and noise during construction will be somewhat elevated, especially with materials deliveries, and the labor force needed to construct everything. Then, there will be noise from static firings testing engines before the actual launches, etc. But my guess is that after the first year of operations, the locals won't even pay attention to it anymore. As long as they work on protecting the environment, it definitely will be a plus for the locality :)

    That was really interesting, thank-you! I think it is high time that someone in a position of authority in the Scottish parliament bought up 1000 (or more) UA-cam or Patreon memberships so that you can keep up your work. I was in Scotland 25 years ago and you've made me think that it's time for another visit, to see all that I missed - and to spend more time in the Highlands - maybe with my son or daughter. Your joy at being in Scotland shines in your work. I love your curiousity, because the "What's that?" (points off in the distance and wants to go look) attitude is what I do, and it drives others crazy. :)

    Were you worried about the spongy peat giving way?
    That's an interesting concept! It really gets the curiosity into high gear.
    Employment opportunities are always good. After experiencing how some smaller towns in the States are "managed". I immediately wonder if the infrastructure can handle the potential increase in residents, workers and additional tourists. I also wonder if the long time residents will get priced out of the area. Hoping it all goes well for everyone!
    If I were there, I'd be excited (and have questions) too!

      NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Florida was built in a swamp. It all sounds super-high tech. I live about 20 miles from KSC. What is launched from KSC is much bigger than what will be launched from Scotland. I am excited for UK. You all will have a super-fast train to the midlands and now a launch facility for communications satellites. How blasted wonderful is that! (Expletive deleted!) 😃 good engineering!!! Super awesome! I am super impressed. I'd love to come see it! Thank you, Colin, for letting us know about this. So proud!!! 🚀

    As a "did you also know" to this very informative video, more space satellites are designed and manufactured in Glasgow than in any other city in Europe. It therefore also makes sense to launch them from as nearby as possible.

    Well done, your style of sharing the surroundings combined with an informative narrative are always enjoyable. Beautiful raw land on that peninsula. I don't believe there will be much effect on the area from the spaceport. It looks like a small footprint and with one launch a month on average it shouldn't be to bothersome. I am sure the people working there will bring commerce to the two villages that will help and be appreciated. Thanks for another well done vlog.

This you should see first Mhoine peninsula then more and more of Scotland then more and more of the UK and other land masses.
