LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Southern California-based Sea Launch Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

In its filing, the satellite launch services provider lists assets of between $100 million and $500 million against liabilities of between $500 million and $1 billion.

The 14-year-old company said in a statement this week that it intends to maintain all normal business operations. It says that, subject to court approval, it will initially use its...

Very cool. Probably darn cold, in fact.

There's no need to put the town name in the title, it's on the map and map page.

I suspect that if I had posted a link from Keith Olberman's show on MSNBC Mr. Anonymous wouldn't have said a thing.

According to the May 2009 Air and Space magazine (article not online) these have been bought and are being restored by Lufthansa.

This area may be available in BEV, but the subject of the map, the Connie, is not there, which makes your comment rather pointless Eldon.

Your typing the comment "This map is also in BEV." adds nothing to the map, and in fact detracts from it.

Knock it off, please.

You did. I was wondering why a building with a flat roof is called a dome.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dome

Where's the dome?

Unfortunately we don't have any 'on the ground' photos.

Google Earth says their pics are from May 21, 2002.

I bet they had fun bombing (literally) around the desert.

It's gone in Google Maps, and you can see a crane in Live Search Maps aerial view. Demolition, I guess.

I wish these people would date these photos!
