Virgin Galactic is planning on building the world’s first spaceport in New Mexico. Virgin has been waiting a long time to do this, but finally a winning design has been chosen. The construction of the spaceport is planned to start in 2008, This gigantic spaceport will be made in a 100,000 square-foot facility. The total cost is expected a $31 million.  Gizmodo notes, “The SpaceShipTwo and its carrier craft, White Knight Two, will be completed in 2008 as well, so the company is well on its way to offering cheap cheaper space flights.”
