  • This is fake guys, look at the upload date September 2007, LOL. Gerald Martin Construction Management from Albuquerque was chosen in December 2008 to build the spaceport.. In 2007 they did not even have the construction company chosen. FAKE VIDEO. =)

  • Yeah, pretty clear-cut hoax here. Just read the Wikipedia article for Spaceport America. At the time this video was posted (Sep 2007), the construction hadn't even began. Looks like he took some random shots at strip mall and decided to lie about it.

  • un argentino dirigió la construcción de esto!!! de Mendoza.

  • installing a mcdonalds booth would seriously be a bad idea

  • @xpez Wow, very clever! The same story with the airports...they also need to be in the air. Virgin began the construction of it's spaceport a few months ago. No terminal has been built yet. The runway is nearing completion. This footage doesn't belong to America's Spaceport.

  • It can't be fake. Sure this was shot in 2007, well before construction even began, but the narrator has a British accent so that proves this is authentic.

  • @faloh0lister DUH !!...Floating airports are for ZEpplins and Blimps...jeeez dont you know anything!!!! HAHA

  • @xpez Well if a spaceport is meant to be in space...shouldnt a airport be up in the air?

  • OK OK a spaceport with only one destination...the same place you took off from. I think its more glamorous to call it a spaceport...but if planes are only peeping into space its really more of an airport that has spaceplanes...

    A real spaceport to mean means you show up to buy a ticket to go into orbit, the spacestation or the moon, or mars etc..

  • @thrillbilly2 its a joint-project btween the yanks n the brits,if you saying its all brits than youre n idiot,the yanks help funded this project mate,you might say well its gonna fly only mr.brenson space plane yada yada yada,wrong,it also gonna use by U.S UP Aerospace to fly its space plane also,so sorry,its not a british only spaceport.

  • somebody is really stupid :P, why build an massive space port on land and then use tons of fuel to bring it in orbit if you can build it in space :P
