Sea Launch
It somehow escaped my notice until now, but there’s a company that specialises in launching stuff from a converted oil rig at the equator. This is simply too cool.
Less fuel is required to make orbit from the equator, thanks the Earth’s spin being amplified, making for cheaper launches. And also, it’s just ace.
