Spaceport America, America’s First — Uh — Spaceport

Hey, there! New Mexico actually has something worth visiting! Yes, Spaceport America is the first spaceport to be built in the entire world (and hopefully not the last). The new hub, which quite honestly looks like a vagina from air, is being built for commercial flights into space. Companies like Virgin Galactic will bring their fancy-shmancy new White Knight II and make astronauts out of them there civilians. I’m positive other companies will take up shop, too.

The Spaceport America groundbreaking ceremony is being held this Friday at 11:30am on-site along with a simultaneous webcast of the event over at the Spaceport America official website. New Mexico’s governor, Bill Richardson, will be there to speak along with other higher powers like Will Whitehorn, President of Virgin Galactic. Oh, and the White Knight II will be doing a flyover as long as the weather looks good.
