Construction Begins On First Consumer Level Spaceport

In the past, if you wanted to go to Space, the word was study, study, study. In addition, you had to be virtually physically perfect or had to be teacher of the year or something like that. In the past, the inky blackness of the final frontier was beyond the hopes and dreams of a mere mortal like myself. All that has changed kid. All you need now is cash sweet cash.

The first commercial spaceport has now begun construction for Virgin Galactic in the wilds of New Mexico in the beautiful U.S.A. This isn’t a NASA style, big concrete box kind of place. Someday, flights will leave from this spaceport with other spaceport destinations in mind, not just a return trip to New Mexico. It’ll be the 7 a.m. flight to Tokyo, or London. Travel time will be really short and partially weightless. Like I said, current flight prices are for the millionaires only. That will change and eventually maybe even normal folks will get to see the big blue ball of Earth from way on high. Thanks Popsci.
