Se va a licitar un sistema de vuelos espaciales mendiante el cual, desde una
plataforma que quizás se instale en la provincia de Córdoba. Esas naves
espaciales va a salir de la atmósfera, va a remontar la estratósfera y desde
ahí elegir el lugar donde quieran ir de tal forma que en una hora y media
podamos desde Argentina estar en Japón, en Corea o en cualquier parte.
