Chippewa County (U.P.) Selected as the Command and Control Center for Rocket Launch Sites

Chippewa County in the U.P. selected as the final site for the Command and Control Center for  launch sites that will be used by commercial, scientific, and military purposes. The selection of U.P. sites as the premier locations are going to be a windfall for jobs and opportunities. A technology community will be coming to the U.P. (one of the reasons why I think Delta County should include digital nomad land in addition to its tourism opportunities). The availability of talent impacts future contracts and opportunities.

You can sort of see the upswing in contracts in certain areas in terms of technology. You can look at the counties and the amount they are receiving and the companies awarded contracts to see which counties were going to receive new investment and activities HERE.

A couple of benefits having these sites in the U.P.:

1. High paying and skilled labor jobs. 40K jobs but I'm not sure if there are secondary jobs as they related to retail and other soft suppliers.

2. Improvement of job opportunities in the U.P.

3. Attracting skilled talent and younger families to the U.P.

4. Infrastructure adjustments that will benefit local communities. 

5. Opportunities to develop other related services, tourism, and activities that will meet the needs of new employees. 

6. Lots of products and services moving through the U.P. 

7. A lot of other stuff. 

The other two sites are Oscoda and Marquette. Launchers are expected in 2023 and 2024.

Many of the missions will be focused on cleaning up space debris, removing highly toxic metals, increasing 5-g connectivity, and increasing space "situation awareness" (probably code word for DOD stuff 💪). Something like 17,000 LEO satellites will be launched. With enough of these you can make a global net that can evaluate, test, and engage in serious scientific data collection about things like global warming, population growth, forest depletion, and other things. You may want to read about these LEO HERE.

You can watch the MAMA conference HERE.

The space race is on and our nation is seeking to jump forward into the digital world. It is important for us to do that to regain connectivity. I have been sort of working on a innovative cluster theory that would rely heavily on interconnectivity and resource allocation to develop advanced industries faster than others. I still have a lot of work to do on it but basic structure is there. (Thinking about sub factors of clusters and how the interconnect on a micro-economic level). HERE.
