I don't think the 'light pollution ordinance' will have any effect on the glare from all the traffic. Not to mention all the dust in the atmosphere. Maybe now would be a good time to drop him a note to let him know that there is an observatory in the area and what effect the proposed plan might have on it's operation. Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net>:
I first heard about it from my boss at the drop zone. He's concerned that the Homeland Security folks will ban flying in the area and shut down the Erda airport when the track is being used.
I wonder what the noise will be like. While the light pollution ordinance should protect the skies I don't know what will protect our ears.
