Building Spaceport America

Work is beginning on the main runway of Spaceport America in the New Mexican desert. When complete, which is scheduled to be sometime in August, the runway will be one of the longest in the world. It will also be usable immediately upon completion.

Virgin Galactic, the anchor tenant of Spaceport America, plans to start carrying paying customers on suborbital flights from the site sometime next year.
