Think you've got the "right stuff"? No, I don't... but that doesn't mean I can't get excited about Sir Richard Branson's latest pet project, Spaceport America which was formally launched in New Mexico today!

"Looking skyward, more than 800 guests marveled at Virgin Galactic’s commercial space vehicles as they soared through the skies of southern New Mexico during the dedication ceremonies of Virgin Galactic’s new home at Spaceport America. The flight of WhiteKnightTwo and SpaceShipTwo was the highlight of a spectacular ceremony which featured the dedication of the Sir Norman Foster-designed building and announcements of new scientific and educational customers for the world’s first commercial space line."

Pictured above is the Virgin Galactic logo, and below that is one of the latest promo videos posted a few hours ago on YouTube. (And here's the link to another one.) For another article, click here.

Below is the Virgin Galactic's "Galactic Girl"... apparently inspired by Sir Richard's mom!
