Took the tour to America's first commercial spaceport. This is where Virgin Galactic Space Ship One will be loading it's 6 paying passengers (only $250,000 each) for a 2-3 hour suborbital ride to the fringes of outer space. Morey is strongly thinking of cashing in the rest of his Home Depot stock and taking the ride. Might even get on the first flight with Richard Branson.

Gateway Building, both hanger and passenger area |
Pretty cool place. All of the support buildings are built and waiting for flights to commence, hopefully before year end.
Ruthie has already decided that she will apply to work the check-in desk, and if Morey can't book the trip, he will be the checker of the runway (over 2 miles long), to be sure it's in flight ready condition.
