Spaceport America is the place to take you to the stars and back.

A huge airport that was burned for “Transition to Space” ("Gateway to Space") extends over 70 square kilometers, and the plan for it was drawn by an architectural firm Foster + Partners.

Spaceport America has several functionalities. It has a huge hangar for aircraft and vehicles, mission control center, and of course spaces where future astronauts can train and prepare for takeoff. But in order to call it a real airport, everyone can enjoy refreshments in the restaurant while watching the take-offs and landings. The airport will also serve as a place for testing new technologies. It is currently the first commercial flight into space already busy, but if the price remains the same in the future, a deduction will be required for the seat converted 225 thousand euros.
