No Mo' Rockets?

Both Kodiak media outlets (although the radio seems to have a raging boner for Pier 3 this week) have reported the end is near MAYBE for Narrow Cape and the Federation's pre-warp launch site for military satellites by a commercial company. Sounds like the buffalo need $8 million to stay afloat and desperately need another launch to keep the cheddar coming to Pasagshak. I might drive out there once a year so I really don't pay the facilities out there much thought. When they do fire on of those puppies off for a north-south orbit the whole town stares up in the sky to watch the lame arse endtrails cut thru the sky as commercial airliners going to Japan do everyday. So somebody answer me this: what kind of New Years' Eve fireworks display could the borough put on with $8,000,000? With about eighteen and a half hours of darkness around that time of year I bet we could have the world's longest fireworks show from 4pm to 10am the next day. Alan. Gary. Put us on the map. A-holes from around the planet would descend on The Rock to watch this. There is an 85% chance is would be too windy/foggy/rainy anyway so you wouldn't even have to really buy the colorful explosives. Just get the tourists trapped here, say "oh well, come back next year," and start counting coin on the tax rev generated on pissed off Outsiders drinking heavily in their rooms at the Shelikof Lodge. And should the weather be fine just have Marty Owen fire a distress flare every ten minutes from the ferry dock.
