Some of these Navy carriers are large enough for more than one runway.

definite s+f. It amazes me how we are left in the dark purposly... The line must be drawn and the people must awaken to certain and possible probablilities. Why is it that they use fear to try to manipulate the masses? If their intentions were good, it would all be public knowledge and we would be way ahead right now... The simple carpenter could potentialy have an idea that would revolutionize the whole situation.. Keep up the good work.

Same here....They never disclose a mission until it is retired, yet many are never disclosed.
This would require UN approval. For all we know Russia has a 5 star Hotel/space station up there. We've tapped the Earths resources, like the saying goes “The Moon is the last Frontier”
I agree we should know. There are several reasons I can think of for not disclosing. One is punching a hole through the atmosphere, including the ionosphere. Very bad.
Sonic booms mean more than a sound. Most dont know that.

I like the concept of the sea launch platform. I notice the radar platform you mentioned is an (old?) oil platform, that may be a good way to find a similar launch platform by finding out what happens to oil platforms when they're no longer needed.
Another question and I think you've touched on this before is the old runways and military bases on small islands in the middle of the pacific. Do you believe there's anything going on with these facilities still?
Wake Island, located 1,100 kilometers north of the Kwajalein Atoll, is a functional adjunct to RTS, providing a launch site for intermediate range NMD and TMD target missiles. Program requirements, mission planning and implementation, and logistics support are coordinated through the Reagan Test Site.
