Pegasus, I am going to do this with my future company, Asgardia will be granted access to this tradehub/spaceport from day one since I plan to mostly employ Asgardians in pegasus.

this is the point in the POA where "Atlantis" is started.

27 find location to start construction of Atlantis, First Ocean based city in the mid-Atlantic, to be used as a spaceport/tradehub and stopping point for planes crossing the ocean. .25 miles above sea level and built to rest on the sea floor in a shallower location. 3 mile radius at the top 5 mile radius on the bottom. Position near the equator for maximum spaceport efficiency. Will be sustainable in every way. Atlantis will be the new HQ for Pegasus once it is done.

read only if you want this is a public draft of the POA

Plan of action.
1 Collect local plastic
2 Grind up collected plastic into pellets that can fit in the extruder, using the blender/grinder
3 Use collected plastic to make filament using extruder and spooler. Spools should be 1 kilogram with the tare weight of the spool.
4 Stockpile filament sell in excess of 10 spools. Sale price 10-15 to undercut market prices.
5 Use filament in the 3d printer to make storage cubes that are stackable to store the plastic pellets and disassembled storage cube parts. Use 3D printer to make local projects
6 Make rain water collection cube add-on
7 Make water tight storage cubes, that link to the water collection cube add on, that can be set out when it rains to collect water
8 Design/Make the plastic parts needed for building a hydroponic farming system
9 Design/Make wind mill/solar power generation and battery capacitor for power accumulation.
10 assemble fully functional hydroponic system and start growing food for Pegasus internal use
11 Sell excess food and water locally
12 Start production of plastic construction cubes and stockpile them, 15cm x 15cm x 15cm, internal structure, each side connects to the surface of the adjacent cube forming a very strong bond. Stockpile the construction cubes, and run tests/adjustments until they work perfectly.
13 Increase production base as needed by buying more  3D printers,  extruders/spoolers and granulators
14 Buy land in or around Ashland  to build a one story basic Pegasus building with the construction cubes, aka basic tech 1 Pegasus facility. Move assets into the facility, size of building 100ft x100ft 10ft with support columns at the corners of every 10ft square, roof will have rain collection systems centered over the support columns, four water tanks will take up the 20ft x20ft area in the center which will be fed by the pipes in the roof that are connected to the water collectors and an overflow out flow. Wind and solar generation will be on the roof of the building. The building will be divided into four zones, warehouse, production, agriculture, and personnel facilities for onsite housing, exercise, eating and utility use. The building will be expandable/customizable as needed.
15 Expand plastic collection base in Ashland to full saturation. By contacting Ashland recycling and acquiring access to the plastic they collect. If that doesn’t work expand to collect from companies in Ashland that have high plastic waste output and continue to add to collection base that way.
16 expand collection base to nearest village/town/city in a radius around Ashland OR USA. Buying land to build a T1 building there, once target area has reached full saturation expand to next nearest populated area. Making its own storage containers filled with surplus filament and pellets.  Once a month send all excess plastic material to the next nearest Pegasus facility until it reaches the start point. This will continue until full globalization. Build T1 warehouse as needed to store excess material, 100ft x 100ft x 10ft, add on to nearest T1 warehouse if one is there.
17 Once 10 populated areas have been reached. Build three more buildings on the land connected to the T1 building making a one story 200ft x 200ft x 10ft structure with the same internal design. This will be a Pegasus basic T2 building.
18 once 20 populated areas have been reached. Build a T1 warehouse 100ft x 100ft x 10ft on the Pegasus land in Ashland, and start collecting scrap metal from local sources in Ashland.
19 Get metal granulator to start turning metal scrap to metal dust/sand to be stored in storage cubes.
20 Get metal 3D printer to start making metal products and upgrading the buildings to Metal basic T1 200ft x 200ft x 20ft 2 stories. Workout from Ashland in a radius to full globalization with the metal building upgrades. Get more metal 3D printers and granulators as needed.
21 Expand metal collection base to nearest village/town/city in a radius around Ashland OR USA. Once target area has reached full saturation expand to next nearest populated area. Once a month send all excess scrap metal to the next nearest Pegasus facility until it reaches the start point. This will continue until full globalization. Build T1 warehouse as needed to store excess material, 100ft x 100ft x 10ft, add on to nearest T1 metal warehouse if one is there.
22 Once 25 populated areas have been reached with plastic collect. Build T1 Bio harvest facility in Ashland. 100ft x 100ft x 20ft, pressurized grow area with carbon dioxide. Oxygen will be filtered and piped out. This will allow the plants to grow faster and bigger. Water will be collected and stored for internal use. Excess food will be sold locally. One of these will be built in each population zone starting in Ashland and working its way down the Pegasus radius expansions, and expanded to meet local demands and build up to the point where it can support 3 times the amount of food and water needed to keep the populated zone stable, and allow for population growth over time to happen without being controlled due to food and water concerns.
23 once 100 metal collection zones have been reached, start production of electronic ground haulers. For back and forth hauling to point A & B/ Start testing and construction of vertical takeoff and Landing aircraft to be used for both public and Pegasus use. Start production of hydrogen/Oxegen fuel to first be used in the vtal craft and later in the dropships and later space.
24 Once collection of metal and plastic has reached full globalization Pegasus will start depleting all landfills and oceans of our accumulated waste on the planet. Starting in Ashland and working out the radius until all waste is collected by Pegasus. The other waste materials found in the oceans and landfills will be recycled by Pegasus into useful items.
25 Once global cleanup is done, start building mining equipment and buy up mines to use, build refineries next to the mines. Close mines that are hazards to life and the area around it and allow the area around it to heal.
26 start building and testing subs to start surveying near shore sites for underwater habitation/mining sites.
27 find location to start construction of Atlantis, First Ocean based city in the mid-Atlantic, to be used as a spaceport/tradehub and stopping point for planes crossing the ocean. .25 miles above sea level and built to rest on the sea floor in a shallower location. 3 mile radius at the top 5 mile radius on the bottom. Position near the equator for maximum spaceport efficiency. Will be sustainable in every way. Atlantis will be the new HQ for Pegasus once it is done.
28 build and test dropships to prep for the conduit to space.
29 build spaceports in all major countries around the world, build a spaceport every 400miles around the equator with Atlantis being one of them once it is online. For a total of 10 around the equator. So one is always in alignment.
30 use dropships to transport prefab components and materials to low earth orbit to Start construction of the first Pegasus station hub,  completing the conduit to space, build ten total that are equally spaced in low earth orbit once the first one is done. Each station hub has an internal shipyard to start building starships, and mobile construction platforms for building habitats that are smaller than the stationhubs. Massive water tanks to collect water being brought up whenever there is excess space in the dropships and distributed to other stations and ships, since it will be used as the primary fuel for the foreseeable future.
31 near earth asteroid mining operations will begin ASAP after the first mining ship/base is online and the materials mined will be put to use right away building more ships and stations, at this point ships and stations purchase will be open to the public, and Pegasus tourist space industry will start.
32 once the space between low earth orbit and geostationary orbit has reached 20% filled, and starports are built equally spaced around the geostationary orbit edge. A convoy of construction ships and massive haulers will make their way to Luna aka the moon to begin building a starport in the highest possible orbit of Luna. Once it is done, it will be stocked with the materials and specialized dropships to build a spaceport on the surface of the moon, and many other sites to be used by Pegasus personnel and the public.
33 allow nations to colonize Luna, if they can plant a flag in person on the moon using their own tech, also lease Pegasus built facilities to countries or companies to use. Start building cities on the surface and increase mining operations.
34 prepare to colonize Mars using the reverse conduit to space, first build a spaceport in orbit of Mars stock it up with water, prefab building materials, dropships, food, and personnel. Once filled to critical mass, make planet fall and build a spaceport on the surface to complete the conduit to space, allow nations to colonize mars, if they can plant a flag in person on the surface using their own tech, also lease Pegasus built facilities to countries or companies to use. Start building cities on the surface and increase mining operations.
35 expand mining operations to the asteroid belt, build 360 massive warehouse nodes that will collect the materials being mined and use them to build parts for ships and stations that will be assembled in shipyards or on station sites. Send all surplus material back to the planetary orbits to be sold on the PEGASUS markets, and send to orbital warehouses over mars, Luna and earth.

Hey , I like this  Idea :)))

Territorial sovereignty

The territory (also called territories) refers to the area under the jurisdiction of the sovereign state, usually consisting of a country (border) within the borders of the land (i.e., territorial land) (including rivers, lakes and inland seas), as well as their bed, subsoil and over (airspace), sometimes including the territorial sea.

The territory is closely related to the survival of the state, because the territory is part of the country, the necessary conditions for the formation of the country, the territory of the state exercising sovereignty and the way of showing the unique sovereignty of the state.

Territorial sovereignty refers to the highest exclusive right enjoyed by the state within its territory, including the two aspects of ownership and jurisdiction.

Territorial ownership refers to the state's right to own, use, gain and dispose of its territory. Based on this power, the state may cede or rent part of its territory, merge into other countries or merge with other countries.

The state's jurisdiction over the territory refers to the territorial jurisdiction of the state, that is, the state's jurisdiction over all persons and things within its territory (including the territory itself) and events.

Territorial sovereignty has two implications: first, the state's ownership of its territory and the natural resources contained in it. Second, the territorial jurisdiction of the state within its territory.

constitute

The national territory consists of four parts of the territorial land, territorial waters and airspace and subsoil structure.

Territorial land

Attached to the territorial waters of the territorial land. The subsoil and attached to the airspace and territorial. The land is the most important part, is the main component of the territory, territorial land change, attached to the territorial airspace and territorial land, also along with the change of subsoil.

territorial waters

Territorial waters is the water area under the jurisdiction of the state sovereignty, including internal waters and territorial sea.

The water in the inland waters and territorial land including internal waters and territorial land, "land in the waters, refers to the land territory in the state waters, such as rivers, lakes, lagoons etc.;

Refers to the inland coastal landward side of the baselines of the territorial sea and land between the sea.

The difference between inland waters and territorial waters is that foreign vessels may not enter inland waters without permission, but they can pass through the territorial sea without mercy.

The territorial sea refers to a certain area of the sea adjacent to the coast or inner water under the jurisdiction of an island country or a coastal state, including the territorial sea, its sea bed and subsoil. The territorial sea forbids other countries to invade and interfere. Beyond the territorial seas is the high seas, and all countries are free to navigate. But the breadth of the territorial sea, and there is no uniform international regulations, the coastal countries according to the sovereignty, can according to their own geographical features, economic development and national security needs and take care of the legitimate interests of neighboring and international navigation facilities, reasonably determine the scope of territorial waters. At present, the territorial waters of different countries vary widely, ranging from 3 nautical miles to 200 nautical miles. The Chinese government announced in September 4, 1958 that the width of the territorial sea was 12 nautical miles. In recent years, as the coastal continental shelf is considered as an important resource collection area, all countries have the requirement to expand the territorial sea. In 1977, the International Conference on the law of the sea determined that 12 nautical miles were territorial sea and 200 nautical miles were the direction of economic waters (governed by coastal countries).

airspace

Airspace is the airspace of a country's land, rivers, lakes, inland seas, territorial seas, and so on. A constituent of the territory of a state subject to the jurisdiction of that state, which shall not be infringed, nor shall foreign aircraft or other aircraft be allowed to fly in its territorial airspace without the permission of the state. Foreign aircraft, especially military aircraft, invade one country's airspace, which is a violation of the territorial sovereignty of the country, and the state ownership of the ground shall be taken in accordance with the circumstances

This is a good idea in general. Location should be in shallower waters like the Gulf of Mexico, unless we're talking completely floating platform(s).  I'd think though that for something we might want to use as our own launch pad, it would have to be a solid platform on pylons in the ocean bed.

This is a good idea and Haroeris makes a good point about the Gulf of Mexico.  Personally I think a Pacific location makes the most sense though.  It gives an advantage for the idea of Sean Davis, in that the Pacific gyre contains a massive amount of floating plastic waiting to be harvested.  The Pacific has calmer weather than the Atlantic.  It is shallower.  It also has the advantage in that new land is sometimes formed there by the action of tectonic shifts; if we were already based in that area then claiming any new land that appeared by chance would be a simple task that would be very valuable.
