Mojave Spaceport

Mojave Spaceport

By July 7 of this year, the Mojave airport will have the answer from the FAA/AST as to whether they can operate as a spaceport. Another airport at Los Cruces New Mexico will become the Southwest Regional Spaceport, and tiny Kindersley Saskatchewan's airport is also becoming a spaceport.

Only a couple of years ago such a designation would laughable, it would be science fiction. Today it only makes the specialty news - I guess the major news media will catch on to the fact that there really is something going on in the space business when Scaled or one of the other teams makes their first suborbital flight.
