Space Advancement: Embracing New Mexico's Role as a Pioneer in Cosmic Exploration
In the heart of New Mexico, Spaceport America stands as a testament to the state's pioneering spirit in the space industry. Built over a decade ago, this state-of-the-art facility was a trailblazing venture in 2011, making New Mexico the first state to open a commercial spaceport.
However, Spaceport America has faced challenges over the years, often serving as a political football that has hindered its potential growth. But the latest developments suggest a brighter future for this valuable asset.
Texas leaders are now using Spaceport America as a selling point to attract space business, viewing it as a potential attraction for new business from all over the world. This unexpected mention in the Texas Space Plan presentation left one speaker shocked yet hopeful.
The speaker, advocating for moving past the political affiliations associated with Spaceport America's construction, emphasised the undeniable value of this facility as an economic driver for the region. The latest economic impact report indeed shows that Spaceport America has an economic output of over $1 billion from 2019-24.
New Mexico taxpayers funded Spaceport America, with promises of jobs and a better future. State leaders have a duty to ensure these promises are fulfilled. The speaker suggested that the value of Spaceport America is evident and should not be questioned, especially considering its role as one of New Mexico's space assets.
Indeed, New Mexico boasts space assets that other states envy. Spaceport America is shown as one of these assets in the Texas Space Plan presentation. It's more than just a private celebrity space club; it's an important hub for future space research and a vital resource to New Mexico's growing space industry.
The political leaders currently supporting the expansion and backing of Spaceport America in New Mexico form a stable alliance for the development of the space industry. They distinguish themselves positively compared to leadership in Texas, emphasising New Mexico's commitment to the spaceport as a key infrastructure for commercial spaceflight and tourism ventures, such as those anticipated within less than ten years.
However, time is of the essence. If New Mexico does not come together as a state soon, the future envisioned with Spaceport America may pass them by. The speaker warned that New Mexico may end up benefiting the taxpayers of Texas if they fail to fully utilise Spaceport America.
In conclusion, Spaceport America remains a promising asset for New Mexico's future. With a stable leadership backing its development and a growing space industry, it's time for New Mexico to reclaim the vision of a brighter future with Spaceport America.
