shortlist #4
スコットランドに2018年までに宇宙船基地を創設する可能性が出てきました。将来的には,宇宙旅行ビジネスを行いたいという壮大な計画です。記事の名で気になった単語は"shortlist"です。『Wisdom英和辞典第三版（三省堂）』によると「最終候補者名簿に載る」という意味がありました。ODでは"A list of selected candidates from which a final choice is made"と定義されております。宇宙基地候補8ヶ所のうち,6ヶ所がスコットランドに位置しているのですね。スコットランドがイギリスから独立する可能性があるというニュースもありますが,今後の展開が楽しみです。（Ume）
Scotland could be base for spaceport, says UK government
Scotland could host the UK's first dedicated base for spaceplanes, according to new government plans.
Ministers want to establish the UK spaceport by 2018 - the first of its kind outside of the US.
Eight aerodromes have been shortlisted and Scotland has six of the potential locations.
The Scottish government said only independence would lead to a greater development of the country's space industry.
For ministers and the space industry, the major interest in a UK spaceport is as a facility to enable satellite launches, but hopefully it would also become a centre for the new tourism initiatives from specialist operators such as Virgin Galactic and XCor.
Ahead of the announcement at this week's Farnborough Airshow, Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander hinted that Scotland could become a key player in the UK government's future plans for developing commercial space travel.
