1) Excitement alone (Maybe Neil deGrasse Tyson would be at the launch the first payload)
2) South Texas needs jobs more than any other area in the state (heavily Democratic too!)
3) Texas would be back in the exploration of space business
4) Would encourage kids to get into science and math!
4) Tourism and prestige for us
5) And I love space and space travel!
