Waah! Where's MY spaceport?
Truth Or Consequences, NM has a spaceport. Dubai in the UAE has a spaceport. Dammit, where's mine?

I've got a Public Enemy V2 that's in great shape and hasn't been flown since my failed attempt at Tripoli Level 1 a few years ago. Give me a friggin' FAA airspace waiver, shove an H or I motor into the V2, and let's do this thing!

Gin Derby Spaceport and Burger Bar! Yeah. I love the sound of that. (The "Gin" comes from the lovely ginbarn, BTW.)

I'm with Keith Olbermann on one other thing, too - where's my robot? And don't tell me "Roomba," either. I need an R2-D2 to call my very own, or at least one of those "Huey-Louie-Dewey" drones from Silent Running. Honda's Asimo would be fine, too, especially the one that can teach me how to dance. Every spaceport needs a dependable and cute robot mascot to secretly run things and make their incompetent human bosses look good.

FAA, I'm still waiting on that AGL waiver! Let's git 'er done! Where's my damn spaceport, already?

2. Cool! Can it flip burgers?
If it can do that and replace O-rings, it's hired.

3. Probably
It can pick things up and throw them, so I bet it could flip burgers.
