I think the biggest problem is that the plan relys too much on selling land and naming rights early on. Most of the funding will come from government and corprate sponsorship, but we cant get goverment or corporate sponsorship until we can show this plan to be a reality.
We'd need to show them that we're well on the way to creating our rocket which basically means we're relying on making something like $100 million on selling the land and the naming rights. The early part of the plan is the weakest and most critical link in the chain... anyone got any ideas where else the early funding can come from?
