Is Richard Branson taking Virgin Galactic to New Mexico? Space.com says that
Branson, who at practically every personal appearance loves to talk space, is working with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson to iron out the details. In September, we mentioned New Mexico’s spaceport but the addition of Branson will take it in a more tourist-centered direction. Virgin Galactic is perhaps the company that has the best shot of making space tourism a viable business so it will be interesting to see what happens here. The New Mexico spaceport will be located near Upham, roughly 45 miles north of Las Cruces and 30 miles east of Truth or Consequences.
