Why do you need an Air Force base? You certainly don't need a runway. Wouldn't any base (army/navy/etc) have the personnel support you'd need? Hell, why do you need a base at all? Lease a few secure office buildings and put a dish on the roof. With enough "distributed architecture" there'd be plenty of redundancy.
Hmmmmm:
-Sydney Australia (The Aussies don't give a )
-Kiwi land
-Maui
-Guam
-Nashville
-Marathon
-Belize
-US Virgin Islands
-Brussels/London/Paris (Western Europe)
-Some tiny Greecian island from the posters in the gyro shop
-And a Droid Center of Excellence (Hub) in maybe Denver or salt lake. You know, for hurricanes and what not.
Shit, I bet we could put a deadbolt on the door to my office at home, set up a taclane, and run most everything from a desktop computer. Spread that out worldwide. Telecommute and get paid by the hour. It'd be a decent supplement to retirement income.
