Spaceport Plans are Talk of Texas Town
The private enterprise movement into space continues. In this case, Jeff Bezos' (the Amazon.com guy!) is aimed at orbital flight, which is a bit beyond the current plans of Virgin Galactic, and Rocketplane, Inc. I'm not sure what the eventual goal of Armadillo Aerospace is, other than to, er, fly into space.
These four entrepreneurial undertakings are all worthy of watching. If we can't get loose of the NASAcrats, our move into space will never amount to more than an elitist bunch of scientific technophiles pursuing their own hobby-horses at taxpayers expense. Let the space race continue!
