Voters in Dona Ana County, New Mexico went to the polls to make the state a launchpad for space tourism. The $198 million project will create a spaceport that will cover 27 square miles of desert near the White Sands Missile Range. The idea behind the spaceport is to be able to launch suborbital rocket flights -- for about $200,000 per person -- from the spaceport. Launches into orbit and further is a long-term goal that will be taken into consideration after a few years of successful launches. Spaceport America should be fully operational by late 2009 or early 2010.
