Spaceport Singapore

Posted by Zonk on from the more-launches-can't-be-a-bad-thing dept.

FleaPlus writes "In addition to last week's news of a spaceport in the UAE, Space Adventures has announced that they will also be building a spaceport in Singapore by 2009. The spaceport will offer flights on a variety of vehicles, such as a Russian-built suborbital spaceplane, fighter jets, and Vomit Comet-style weightless parabolas. Space Adventures will be competing with other fully-funded suborbital spaceflight companies, such as Virgin Galactic and Rocketplane."

    Will they announce one in Florida or in South America next?


    No, they announced prospective plans about Florida before this annoucement.
