I've watched a few shows on this and it seems to work very well indeed, perhaps the future in rocket launching.

Hmm, and I thought submarines were dangerous.

If we were to drop one of these platforms in the middle of the ocean, it would be a really easy target to pick off.

Wouldn't it almost be the same launching a missile on land though?

Nice find! This one's a keeper!

I'm surprised by it, too -- never heard of it. They're using fairly small rockets; couldn't launch something like the space shuttle from these platforms.

Can some of you hunt up some additional links for this one and post them here? I'm in kind of a time crunch on this end.
