Now the worry of accommodating spaceships is resolved. Virgin Galactic has shard its plans to construct a Spaceport in New Mexico. This would be the first-ever American spaceport for commercial use. Out of the eleven international contestants (firms), the architecture presented by URS Corporation was hand-picked. Offering the facility of 100,000 sq ft, this commercial project expects an investment of $31 million.
The Spaceport ensures the lodging of two White Knight Two carrier aircraft along with five SpaceShipTwo spaceliners. Year 2008 is predictable as “The Year of the Spaceship” and Will Whitehorn, president, Virgin Galactic and his group is all set to celebrate the upcoming inventions in space inviting space tourists.
Well, I think the construction of the commercial spaceport can open the entry gate for us to reside there with comfort. Earlier, I informed you about the Commercial Space Station Skywalker that will soon be accessible and would demand $1mn for lifting you 515-kms above Earth offering for a mere night stay. Isn’t it an expensive deal?
