Ionatron lives in "A Unique Federal City"

"The Stennis Space Center Is A Unique Federal City......."

(Heavily Edited)......

Stennis Space Center

Situated near Mississippi's Gulf Coast, just 45 minutes from New Orleans, John C. Stennis Space Center is a unique federal city that continues to feel the positive results from increased construction, expansion, and collaboration. The Center is seeing tremendous growth by its existing tenants and the addition of new agencies, companies, and groups to the facility.

Since its inception in 1958, NASA has been an important source of much of the nation's new technology. The Office of Technology Transfer at Stennis works to identify technology development opportunities and make these available to domestic companies as commercial products. It does so by making technologies available through public licenses and partnerships, providing technical advice, and acting as a clearinghouse for technology needs. NASA's Commercial Technology Program provides a variety of opportunities for the American public to work with NASA in the transfer of technology, including licensing opportunities, dual-use projects, Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR), and technology assistance.

New business is booming at Stennis. The State of Mississippi is constructing a new high-tech aerospace park at Stennis and the first occupant will be the Lockheed Martin Propulsion, Thermal, and Metrology Center. Adjacent to this park will be the new Department of Defense Space-Based Laser Performance Test Facility.

The Pentagon's Ballistic Missile Defense Organization has slated construction of a $140 million facility at Stennis to test its proposed Space-Based Laser (SBL) to begin in the first quarter of fiscal year 2002. The facility will be used to evaluate beam quality, efficiency, and power levels for a prototype megawatt-class hydrogen fluoride laser.

This is great news for Ionatron legitimacy. Stennis wants High Tech. It is a great place for development and manufacturing. Cost of living is 10-20 % below national average.

The only negative is attracting and keeping employees. I haven’t been to the Space Center recently so it may have grown up some. But there is not much happening on the Pearl River.

However nearby on the Gulf of Mexico from Biloxi to Panama City FL it is the Red Neck Riviera! I live there and love it. There are beautiful sugar white sand beaches and turquoise water. We just had Spring Break to start the tourist season off with a bang. (all the Coeds make the beaches even better)

I was in the Gulf yesterday and loaded the boat with Cobia (Ling Cod) largest one was 70 lbs.

I can see a demand for our stock when major news media start to pick up on what Ionatron is doing.
