Inishnabro (Irish: Inis na Bró, meaning 'island of the quern/bottom grind stone') is one of the Blasket Islands of County Kerry in Ireland.

[1] In 1973, an American scientist, Gary Hudson, approached the Industrial Development Authority and then the Irish Consul General in Chicago, Sean Farrell, to propose using Inishnabro as the launching site for a new commercial space shuttle.

Hudson said he represented a group including British astronomer Fred Hoyle, an American astronaut who had walked on the Moon, and others.

In a memorandum to the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, Farrell wrote that his initial reaction was "one bordering on disbelief" but then concluded that Hudson was "genuine enough".

Department officials, however, concluded that "Whatever his objective may be it is apparent that the scheme he propounded to Mr Farrell in Chicago belongs mainly to the realms of science fiction" and that it could be "a gigantic leg-pull".
