Virgin’s Gone Galactic2:34 pm | Friday, September 7th, 2007

Sir Richard Branson certainly is a visionary. Just this year he successfully launched Virgin America, a domestic airline in the U.S. to rival Jet Blue and the dozen or so other airliners that always seem to go bankrupt. But, the adventurer-mogul ain’t stopping there, and has set his heights for the heavens. Just recently, Virgin Galactic, the world’s first commercial spaceliner, unveiled the winning designs for the its commercial spaceport. The 100,000 square-foot facility will be located in New Mexico and will serve as the primary base of operations for Virgin Galactics suborbital spaceliner. Judging by the renderings, this thing is going to be otherworldly and future perfect. The first flights are set for 2012. Be sure to head over here to see the rest of the images that look like they were lifted straight out a graphic Sci-Fi novel.
