Yes that is great - and a $200,000.00 a pop - more affordable then flying with the Russians - if not quite the same experience.

This is only a little ways from where I live. I'm disappointed in the way the state is basically paying for the space-port and not getting anything in return, but I guess 30 or 40 years from now when they are shuttling settlers to Mars no one will be thinking about the price tag.
