A wonder of the world?
Here’s a lot more detail about the proposed New Mexico spaceport.
The New Mexico spaceport is to be environmentally friendly in consideration of the local surroundings, featuring an eye looking up into space, Branson said. “As you look down at it from space, seeing this giant eye in the middle of the desert….maybe I’m over exaggerating it…but I think it could be one of the wonders of the world as viewed from above. It’ll be pretty spectacular.”
I’m still waiting for someone to give me $50,000 so I can take a sub-orbital flight from the new spaceport when they become available.
I promise to blog about it. And take pictures!
Anyone?
