The United States should have a second human-rated spaceport says nearly 8 in 10 of the 363 poll respondents to this Blog. The logical choice for the second human-rated spaceport is NASA's Wallops Flight Facility where the Virginia-owned Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport is located. It is the site of a FAA licesned commercial spaceport where now planned re-supply cargo missions to the International Space Station will be launched as the space shuttle is retired in 2010/2011 [6:48-minVIDEO].
WDBJ-TV (Roanoke) reporter Joe Dashiell recently visited the Wallops Island facilities and provided an indepth set of news-TV video interviews, slides, and written reports on the little-known Virginia space launch asset now in a final countdown period to an orbital launch [vid]. The launch will be *webcast* Tuesday night.
