Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico
aapold writes "Virgin Galactic today announced plans to build a $225 million space port in southern New Mexico. Richard Branson will meet with governor Bill Richardson Wednesday to unveil the plans. Virgin Galactic is the company leveraging Spaceship One which, as reported by Slashdot, claimed the Ansari X prize for commercial space flight."
Is it only me, or does anyone else think a space port is better built...in space?

A couple of frontiers one might consider worthy of pushing:
1. Poverty
2. Energy, reliance on oil
3. Disease, anti-virals against HIV, H5N1
4. Economy, lower inflation, better trade balance
5. War on Terror (tm), ending it
and maybe then it would be appropriate to think about putting the wealthy in a casket and launch them into orbit.
-if at first you don't succeed, stay the heck away from paragliding.
