It's really a pity that Ecuador is moving at such a position of left and get in bed with Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and Evo Morales of Bolivia. ALBA seems is making progress in his socialist agenda throughout Latin America. Recently, one of the think tanks on the Internet said that Ecuador would be an excellent place for a operation of private space. As you probably know the privatization of space and space tourism industry will be a huge future.
Why Ecuador do you ask? Well, Ecuador is in Ecuador, obviously, and has the highest point of any location in Ecuador. It says that if a spacecraft launch or rocket in Ecuador of the energy needed 15% less to achieve escape velocity. Therefore, if you were to launch a rocket from Ecuador Mountain higher, can get by with 20% less energy to launch a spacecraft in space outside the Earth's atmosphere.
Now you may think that 20% less energy is not such a big deal, but it really is, as every time you reduce the amount of weight rocket fuel, you can increase the payload, or the size of the rockets. Unfortunately, it is, as I indicated earlier, the socialist tendencies of the new president of Ecuador are very problematic for anyone interesting of money on infrastructure in that nation, as a spaceport.
It is likely that Ecuador will continue to nationalize many industries and businesses there. The last thing I would do is give them rocket technology that could be used for evil purposes if they were to command a privately funded spaceport. In fact, I hope you please consider this.
