Rocket launches

This island doesn't look like it's large enough for rocket testing, not even small ones. Captain Jackson 23:37, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what gives you that impression, but it is. You can watch launch videos at spacex.com. -- Beland 18:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Isolation

Can someone with more expertise than I edit the clause that says "due to its isolation by water for thousands of kilometers in all directions"? Omelek is one islet in a circle of islets that once surrounded an actual island. Several of these islets are inhabited. The entire atoll, in turn, is part of a section of the Pacific with a great many other inhabited islands and atolls. Thanks. Bob51

I noticed that, to. Looking at the map Omelek obviously is not thousands (or even hundreds) of kilometers away from other islands. Captain Jackson 00:06, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map request

A locator map is needed to show the position with respect to the continents of the Earth. -- Beland 18:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The current map has an inset that already does that, if you really want a separate locator map the one I made for Kwajalein could be re-used here. Kmusser 14:18, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rent?

I never see anything anywhere about this private corporation's paying for the use of expensive government (i.e., taxpayer) launch facilities. Doe this happen, or is it some sort of perk or freebie?
