Las Vegas Spaceport Is Coming, Meaning The Future Is Now.

Space, the new frontier. OK, it's not new necessarily, but it is the future. Which, as of today, is the now. Because Las Vegas is about to get it's own spaceport.

I guess we should have already known the future was now. With things like talking refrigerators, A.I. celebrities, and those new Tesla trucks. What is it with those things? Sure, it can climb the Eiffel Tower, but God they're ugly.

According to New3lv.com, Clark County has given the green light to build the first-ever Sin City Spaceport. What is Spaceport, you ask? It's a 240-acre complex for commercial airplanes, and space planes.

Yes, Spaceplanes.  

The Spaceport will be located just outside of Pahrump or, as they say on their own website, Lasvegasspaceport.com, "just 15 minutes by helicopter from the Las Vegas Strip". It's also 15 minutes from 39 million visitors who blow money likes going out of style on the Las Vegas Strip. Ok, they don't say that exactly. I was paraphrasing. But how brilliant to build a spaceport outside of Vegas for tourists. It’ll be known as the next big Las Vegas attraction.

The Spaceport will not only be a hub for (earth) planes and space planes, but it will have a hotel, an observation deck and a restaurant. Plus, if you are the adventurous type, they will have zero-gravity and VR training for civilians so they can go to space. 

Or at least the edge of it, like in this video.

In fact, you can book your training now on their website.

So now that Clark County just approved construction permits for the Spaceport to build a $30 million runway, we are in motion for one of the world's first Spaceports for recreational space travel.  

Rob Lauer, CEO of the LV Spaceport project, says that space tourism is the future and Spaceplanes will dominate that future. He told New3lv.com, "There are several companies that we're working closely with right now that are building the next generation of space vehicles.” 

That's sounds pretty cool, I just hope these space-age planes look nothing like the Tesla Truck. We don't want the aliens to think we're dorks flying our mom's minivan.
