The KLC has not launched any rockets since 2008; one of its past launches was destroyed one minute after launch.
The launch tower (known in Kodiak as "Faulty Tower") sits atop a major earthquake fault. The Alaska Aerospace Corporation just asked the Alaska State Legislature for $4 million because it can't pay its bills. Launch revenues have never covered operating costs.
