Up to Speed up commercial applications of experiments in space and to avoid stiff government regulate. A University of Alabama at Huntsville want lations officials from the to launch rockets from an Oil platform just off the Beach in the Gulf of Mexico. But environmentalists along the coast Call the proposal a a crazy in tight of an ongoing Battle to Stop other potentially harmful developments and military use of the Gulf. Or. Francis Wessling a professor of mechanical engineering and associate director of the Utah consortium for materials development in space said Alabama from Huntsville to Mobile could become a the commercial space Hub of America a replacing government launching at Cape canaveral fla., and White Sands . He called the proposal Only in its infancy stages a spaceport Alabama the window to commercial  Jim Trapp president of the Gulf coast chapter of save americans valuable environment called the proposal a another crazy greedy idea by people who do not understand the pressure the planet and the Gulf of Mexico Are already  save was one of several environmental groups that recently fought successfully against the Navy a proposal to test an electromagnetic pulse simulator off the coast of Alabama.

Wessling said there should be no worries that rockets might hit population centers such As Pensacola fla., or Mobile. A the Eastern test Range is near Cocoa Beach and Only 60 Miles from Orlando a in Florida he said. The rockets provide seven to 14 minutes of Low Gravity time to conduct biological reaction experiments on cell formation Metal melting Plant nutrient Uptake and other processes. Wessling said products could be developed such As new drugs Metal combinations for machine tools and polymer thin films and foams. He also said orbiting satellites could be launched. Wessling said the proposal is Only on the drawing Board for now. A we done to even know All the wickets we have to go through yet Quot he said. A the state is going to be involved a we done to know exactly How. The department of transportation will have to do some licensing and we done to know what All they will require.
