    For the first time in nearly a decade, people have launched into orbit from America -- opening a new chapter in space exploration.  While the notion of space tourism might seem too futuristic for many, the success of these missions reinforces the real and increasingly closer possibility of privatized spaceflight.  The advancements of several technologies and collective global enterprises have made lower earth orbit travel and the ability to fly intercontinentally in just a few hours a near-future possibility.  Less has been defined in the way of the infrastructure needed to support this massive evolution....until now.  
     
    Spaceports are the future of aviation -- a facility where spacecraft oriented to different types of missions in space launch or land. It includes launch pads, landing strips, maintenance, education, medical and business commerce -- all necessary to support point-to-point rocket travel.
