I suppose at the dawn of the Aviation age there were those that would have argued that thousands of airports around the world would one day exist with millions of travellers.
It would only be logical to assume that the same would one day be true for space travel as well. However considering how slowly manned space travel has progressed in the last 30 years – i think that lots of people have their doubts.
The people behind Spaceport America aren’t among them.
When the 100,000 square-foot (9,290 square-meter) facility is completed — the centerpiece of the world’s first, purpose-built, commercial spaceport — the structures will serve as the primary operating base for Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic suborbital spaceliner, and also as the headquarters for the New Mexico Spaceport Authority.
