2010: A Space Travel Odyssey

Arthur C. Clarke must be proud. As reported in Wired, by 2010, the hub of space travel will likely move from Florida to New Mexico, and spacecraft taking off from the desert will be accessible to the public, not just those in cahoots with NASA.

Of course, when I say public, I mean those who have $200,000 and the desire to travel in suborbital space on Virgin Galactic.

Construction on Virgin Galactic’s new spaceport is set to begin next year and flights may begin as soon as 2009. The designs for the spaceport look like a sci-fi movie, but then, I wouldn’t expect anything less from Richard Branson.
