When I went to the EAA AirVenture 2005 in Oshkosh (Pictures Here) Richard Branson (pic) and the Virgin Galactic crew announced that they were going to start flying people into space in a few years. Now, they’ve announced that they are going to build a $225 million spaceport in New Mexico. The spaceport is going to 25 miles south of the town named Truth or Consequences. I wonder what real estate is selling for around there. A quick check of realtor.com reveals that, right now, land is cheap. Houses starting at $30k. 3 bedroom, 1 bath houses for $66k. It would be nice to get several acres of land on the road south of there, leading towards the space port. Put in an airport or something. New Mexico might become everyone’s favorite earth destination in a few years. Time will tell.
