message: Kourou is located only 500 km north of the equator, at a latitude of 5 degrees. At this latitude,  the Earth's rotation gives an additional velocity of almost 500 m/s
Additional 500 m/s as compared to where?  Kazakhstan?

replies: text: Apparently this is 465 m/s compared to launch from a hypothetical non-rotating Earth! Sdsds 19:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The value of the rotational velocity given in the article (1.800 km/h) is unsourced. I'm not an expert but I've calculated that the speed at the equator is about 1.674 km/h (465 m/s) and about 1.667 km/h at 5.3°. If I'm not wrong 1.800 km/h is then impossible (the speed at the equator is higher than anywhere else). We should remove this information and look for a source. Anyway, this is an additional velocity compared to the poles (the Earth seems not rotating when you're on the rotation axis). I'm sorry if I'm not very clear but my English is not very clear too . --Xiglofre (talk), 15:41, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just deleted the incorrect stuff. Back of my envelope calculations made it 1664 km per hour, which allows for the 5.3 degrees latitude, but could still be off by a couple of km.  has 460 m/s which 1656 km per hour. -84user (talk) 16:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: No kidding...I think most people figured that out.  By the way, it's not owned by France, it is France.  Think about Hawaii and Alaska...  --Aquarelle 08:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

message: A section about life at the Space Centre should be added. Afterall it is a bit of an outpost of Europe. How many people work at the Space Centre? Where do they live?  Are they "locals" or from Europe proper?  How many are French?  Are there many that only visit the center when launchers are imminent?
Also how much of an impact does the Centre have upon French Guyana, both culturally and economically?  How does the rest of French Guyana get along with the staff of the center?  Are they considered interlopers? --Bruce Hall (talk) 11:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: You're correct that the coordinates in the article seemed to point to a location (slightly) outside the boundaries of the facility; but since it appears to cover a rather extensive area, I've chosen coordinates nearer the center of the facility.
