I was born in a little valley in British Columbia Canada. In the 1960s. My first memory as a small child was Neil Armstrong walking down the ladder to step on the moon on a black and white woodgrain tv set. Those were the days of fame. Moon landings and orbital skylab missions new designs of space stations and in 1972 rumors of a new space plane shuttle to launch us to the moon and mars and beyond. My father had built a great library with 10s of thousands of books, manuals, engineering knowledge and and encyclopedias of the known universe. I was deeply involved in reading and theory of everything. I was introduced to airplane building and flying at the age of 7.I built my first flying lifting body at 8 years old. Many wing designs led to launching radio controlled rockets with solid fuel engines off of flying radio control planes to ever higher altitudes until I was forced to take my first college course on airport flight operations and FAA guidelines for experimental flight vehicles launching near airport landing lanes and population centers. I didn't have the choice as I was watched by curious local police officers stunned where I got such exotic toys and were impressed when they found out I had built them myself from scratch. Now my 50th anniversary of designing lifting body's is here and I apply my knowledge to civilian sub-orbital mass transit vehicles for tourism and jobs in my beloved north America. You see I'm Metis Indian. I have no border. My mother was an English teacher from Louisiana Usa. And my father was a train engineer from Canada. I accepted Metis Indian status late in life but never forgot my aerospace roots from the 70s. I bring the Thunderbird mass transit system to light for all to enjoy and benefit from.

Where will these vehicles be constructed?

There are few places with the room near an airport where this construction can occur. But they do exist. Land is being investigated, permits sought. New investment and support. What community would not want these built in their town ? Jobs , infastructure upgrades, schooling,many many benefits for their families.
