It is my hope that the launch will put the spaceport on the radar screen of suborital space tourist firms. BLEEP! BLEEP!

The spaceport needs no significant investment and is relatively low cost for use and centered among the East Coast US population. Seems like it may be a perfect location for the Virginia-based Space Adventures, Ltd. and Virginia educated Eric Anderson and Anousheh Ansari. It would perhaps be a perfect location for the launch of the Russian-made “Explorer” suborital spacecraft in 2009.
