The Future is Now... No Wait, Now... No Now...

Where do you like to go on vacation? Somewhere warm and sunny? Somewhere perfect for skiing and snowboarding? Somewhere off the planet?
.
Well New Mexico has begun construction of the world's first commercial spaceport. That means space tourism, as well as commercial scientific endeavours, may soon be available to the public. Well, the rich public anyway.

Since the aliens have already crashed in New Mexico, I'd say a spaceport is long overdue. At least they will have a place to land. So long as they agree to stop probing our anals...

Pictures of the spaceport's proposed design look like something George Lucas would be proud of. (Picture above from BBC News)

At least movies like The Fifth Element and Back to the Future are starting to look more and more realistic in their portrayals of the future. I'm already pretty pissed that they haven't started on the flying cars yet.

I can't wait for my own X-Wing!
