Spaceport America is the first purpose-built commercial spaceport in the world.

Executive director Scott McLaughlin has a portfolio of ideas to further grow the launch complex.

McLaughlin: "We're trying to be a site as ready as we can and one that anticipates the market, trying to get ahead of that market" McLaughlin says Virgin Galactic's suborbital flights will have a big impact on the spaceport.

McLaughlin: "We're never going to have the throughput that the Cape in Florida has. But we'll be a good alternative especially if you're going to do a small to medium-sized launch, and you need to do it quickly, and perhaps do it more securely than you would if you were to fly over water. That's why the Department of Defense is showing interest in the inland spaceport. We do a lot of cool stuff, and that makes a big difference, McLaughlin says.
