SPACESPORT AMERICA


Spaceport America is the first spaceport ever. The project began last Friday in New Mexico. Designed by Foster + Partners and URS Corporation, Spaceport America will host commercial operations by private space travel companies, like Virgin Galactic.


The 110,000-plus square foot facility will use cost-effective, energy-efficient green building practices and will be built to be LEED-certified. From earth-tubes that will pre-condition the air to reduce HVAC costs by 50-70% to solar thermal panels on the roof for hot water to the embedded in-floor loop system, Spaceport America is both unique and iconic in terms of visual and environmental design.

This is amazing man, but my thing is why are human beings so unsatisfied with life. There is still so much wokr to be done on earth but yet we want to elope into another world....
