A giant spaceport under construction in New Mexico is aiming not only to be the launching site for a new fleet of private spaceships, but a tourist destination in its own right, its designers say.
New plans released Tuesday (Feb. 7) detail the immersive visitor experience in store for tourists who visit Spaceport America near Truth or Consequences, N.M. — whether or not they plan launch spaceward on a rocket flight.
"We are designing a learning-enriched, hands-on immersion into what space is going to be about for the next twenty years," said Bob Allen, chief storytelling officer for IDEAS, the firm hired to design the facility's visitor experience, in a statement. "We want a relationship with our guests that lasts generations."
