Spaceport America!
« on: July 19, 2006, 06:04:21 pm »
...FUCK YEAH!  (Team America all the way)

Such a catchy name, how could anyone ever some up with something so AWESOME sounding?



Also, the first launch is set for Septemeber!...this actually IS cool.  New Mexico & the rest of the world is well on the way to having commercial spaceflight.

Aforetime crowned by lilac and lily,
Lay now forevermore slender;
And all winds that liven
Silhouette a lone existence;
A leafless oak grasping at eternity.

Original tickets are going for $200k...projected to fall to $10k soon.
This is going to bring MILLIONS to our sad little economy in New Mexico, THANK YOU Bill Richardson!

It's funny how you applaud America for this, when it's owned by a British guy :P

AntiVirus, remember that Californian dude that went up with the Russians for like $10million?  $10k is ALOT cheaper


rabbit, Branson owns Virgin Galactic, he doesn't own the spaceport.  The spaceport is property of New Mexico & will accommodate more than one spaceflight company.  There are people setting up shop to have rocket-races even.

We can't launch a rocket into space withought a bunch of risks and even then things can go wrong and people are thinking about this? Give me a break.

They'd be going out with a VERY literal bang.

You might be right about that, Joe.
