I guess it depends upon whether the authorities are aiming for satellites only or for people/space tourism as well.
Also, whether the Scaled Composites/SpaceShipOne approach will ultimately win over the usual rocket method. The latter seems tragic and it is a pity the former seems stalled after that sad crash.
If SpaceShiOne got going, Bristol, with its excellent connections, has a stonking great runway at Filton which needs snapping up before it is turned into a load of unaffordable "affordable" housing and an out of town retail extravaganza.
