Airports for space crafts were part of a dreams of fantasy. Well somethings come true and this is one of them. The New Mexico Spaceport Authority recently unveiled designs for the world’s first public launching and landing site for space vehicles, Spaceport America. This is where the Virgin Galactic will take off! Located in the middle of New Mexico desert the spaceport is to include a passenger terminal and a hangar big enough for seven apace crafts. UK architecture firm Foster + Partners and San Francisco-based engineering shop URS have been working on the project and is expected to complete it in 2010 costing a cool $225 million. So pack your bags and get ready for the vacation of a lifetime. Next destination: Mars. I wonder what the prizes are like to travel to space? Check out an artist’s impression of the interiors after the jump.
