Companies wishing to join the space race will soon have a terminal to launch their space buses--sending private citizens on a tour of Earth and beyond. The designs have been released and construction on Spaceport America will begin in 2008 in Las Cruces, N.M.

A U.S.-British team of URS Corporation and Foster + Partners have revealed plans for a 100,000 square-foot hangar that will be part of the world's first port built specifically for commercial space travel.
