The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has asked for more time to release an impending decision about a proposed spaceport in South Georgia’s Camden County, citing among other reasons, “the complexity of the proposed project.”
The state agency is required to review whether the proposal violates any Georgia laws protecting the coastal environment.
Camden County is proposing to build a commercial spaceport on the coast in Woodbine, Georgia, featuring a rocket launch trajectory over salt marsh and tidal waters, as well as the Cumberland Island National Seashore. A spaceport operator license would not allow the county to actually launch rockets; each launch would still require an additional federal license.

PROVINCETOWN Should Race Point be renamed Meeshaun Point in honor of the original Wampanoag village of the region?
The Wampanoag Advisory Committee thinks so, and it wants the Provincetown Select Board to support the idea.
The support of the board would be the first step in a lengthy federally run process, according to town, state, and federal officials.
“Meeshaun is the original Wampanoag name of the village that was there in what is now P-Town,” Wampanoag Advisory Committee chairman Linda Coombs said.
Meeshaun was a part of the Wampanoag Nation’s 69 villages that spread throughout eastern Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island. The name was given by Natives who lived on the land for over 12,000 years, she added.
