This is CBS. I on the world. I'm John Batchel. Bob Zimmerman is here. He keeps the website behind the black.

We're headed to Ireland, a spaceport in Ireland. All the countries of Europe are getting in the

spaceport business. But Bob has taught me. Some get in before the regulators say, okay. Bob, there's a startup, there's a

spaceport in Ireland, but have the regulators said okay. Good evening, too. Good evening,

well, actually, we're way ahead of the regulators. In fact, this startup company, it's S-U-A-S-Arospace.

I don't know what the acronym stands for.

They have been pushing for this for a spaceboard in Ireland.

They've been pushing the Irish government now for a while for about a year to establish a spaceport in Ireland.

In fact, they wanted to actually establish two locations.

They don't, as far as I can tell, they don't have a location. They don't have any land yet.

So I think they might actually be pressing the Irish government to provide them the land from public land. I don't know. Anyway, they are pushing for this. I've got a map of mind of the

black of their proposed launch facilities on the northwest and southwest corners of Ireland.

One going launches would go to the north, and the other one would launchers would go to the south.

These will all be polar orbits, and this would be for small sats, obviously.

The story here is that Suez Aerospace has now signed a contract with a Netherlands rocket

startup called T-minus engineering.

And T-minus engineering has agreed it will launch a small suborbital rocket

from the west coast of Ireland and this is in order to demonstrate the viability of Ireland

as a potential spaceport location. So this is all lobbying very clearly. From what I can tell,

they don't have a location so what they'll do is they'll either probably rent a location or they'll get permission

off the coast.

And the launch is going to be nothing more than maybe one stage up from a model rocket launch
