![]() In close proximity to potential suppliers and/or clients. Since I don't know the focus of your hypothetical company I can't be more specific.

![]() gotta say team prometheus is onto something with their texas location... austin's a tech town, there's plenty of space for dangerous testing, and there's a great launch site 2-3 hours away near an abandoned air force base.
if i were doing something small, there, if i were doing something big - silicon valley. _________________ Cornell 2010- Applied and Engineering Physics Software Developer Also, check out my fractals |

![]() Las Vegas, as it is outside CA and not far--to make moving easy. I'm now in Las Vegas, and will soon be incorporating Microlaunchers and doing things that cannot be done in CA.

![]() Outskirts of Reno and Sparks, Nevada, because I live out here and there's a lot of desert! FAA restrictions are low, and there is even a small airport I can use.
