The last viable superheavy vertical launch site in the United States is in Northern Minnesota's Iron Range. With an existing infrastructure, the largest non-salinated deorbiting zone in the world, local natural resources, industrial workers, ready access to land and water transportation, and more, it is also an ideal US space hub for missions to the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belt.

Dear __________,
I support the development of the CanAm Spaceport in Northern Minnesota.
The United States has a critical need for heavy and superheavy launch sites to keep up with the demand for commercial and federal space activity. This access will provide direct benefits to the US economy, create opportunity for technological advances in mining and medicine, and ensure our independence in the developing space industry.
The Iron Range in Northern Minnesota is uniquely qualified to fulfill this need.
- It is the last valid site for superheavy launches in the US
- It has a ready support infrastructure
- It has access to rail and ocean transport
- It has proximity to the largest unsalinated deorbiting body in the world
- It has qualified indusrtrial workers
- It has a safe polar launch corridor
- It has available space.
By uniting in support for this as a public/private effort we can ensure safety and environmental remediation for the entire area.
As my representative, I ask that you stand behind efforts to license and build the CanAm Spaceport and ensure future prosperity for our country and for humanity.
Sincerely, __________
