** Maybe RuleOfCool?
** Bear in mind, the Thunderbirds also go really fast, so it may be far enough out that it's not easy to get to for folks with normal aircraft.
** Simple; ClarkKenting is firmly in place. No one would expect to see the children of a celebrity running around natural disasters, and the conditions of the rescues are such that most people being rescued probably would only have a vague idea of what their rescuers look like. Also, Jeff is an astronaut, so while many people will know his name, his face is probably less well-known (how many people would recognize, say, Neil Armstrong, if they passed him on the street?)

* It takes thousands of people to get a single NASA launch up there. Recoverable tech like the Space Shuttles needs a ''lot'' of looking after. Who does the maintenence at Tracey Island? Where are all the ground crews? who keeps all the machinery and moving parts in working order? surely it can't be Brains working as a one-man operation?
** Possibly the Traceys help with maintenance in their spare time?

** No, but no one was worrying about that in the old days. In the 2004 film, Alan, Tin-Tin, and Fermat go to school on the mainland, and the implication is that Alan's older brothers probably did the same when they were that age.

* Is it entirely healthy for five young men to grow up on a tropical island, where the only members of the opposite sex they see on a regular basis are - their grandmother, the daughter of "the help", and their dad's posh totty bit on the side?
