You read my mind.
Except technically, in the atmosphere, the angle with greatest distance is a bit lower because the air resistance tends to push objects up. It's more like 40 degrees, I believe.
Anyway...
on that property I would plant an entire forest in one part, the rest would remain mid-west desert, and then make money letting ppl film all sorts of different movies there.
I would also build, at some point, a track I could drive really fast on and a runway so I could learn to be a pilot. My instructors would fly to me
Now if I had enough money for all of that AND this, I'd do it. If not, this first:
I would trick out my missile silo house which is on the property. Kinda like this one
http://ming.tv/flemming2.php/__show_article/_a000010-000026.htmit may only have 28 acres, but thats enough to shoot almost any gun legally, not to mention I'm sure I'd have plenty left over to buy a ton more land.
This is a GREAT article. However mine would still withstand a nuke, and it would be decorated a little better... lol
