The First Commercial Spaceport

So here comes the first commercial spaceport - Spaceport America

The beautiful design is from a U.S.-British team, consisting of URS Corporation and Foster + Partners. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2008. In the meantime, you just can't deny how elegant this piece is.
