澳大利亚昆士兰政府部长约翰·比杰克—彼得森说,南部约克角(Cape York)在21世纪将成为南半球的卡纳维拉尔角,供各国使用的国际发射场。今年2月公布的这一设想已有几家公司表示有兴趣,它们是英国航宇公司、荷兰霍克尔公司和美国通用动力公司,它们想承包这一工程。英国航宇公司澳大利亚分公司要求总公司投资,使约克角成为霍托尔航天飞机发射场。 Australian Secretary of State John Beech-Pederson said the Cape York in the 21st century will become Cape Canaveral in the southern hemisphere for the international launch pad to be used by all nations. Several companies have expressed interest in this vision, released in February of this year. They are British Aerospace Company, Holland Holker Company and General Dynamics Company of the United States. They want to contract this project. British Aerospace Australia Branch asked the head office to invest to make the Cape Horn Shuttle launch site.
