Commercial Spaceport Approved for Houston
Another step closer to space tourism.
Expansion of the space tourism industry is inevitable. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has officially announced Houston as the location for the U.S.’s new commercial spaceport. The spaceport will be built on the property of Houston’s public and military transportation hub Ellington Airport, and will house “horizontally-launched” space vehicles as well as a space vehicle assembly. The project has been approved after a long two-year wait and will without a doubt bring in tourists from all over the world with high hopes of traveling to outer space destinations.
