Follow The Sun Tours in Truth or Consequences - it starts from here
The landmark of the spaceport - the sculpture of the crescent moon
The entrance - it would be nice if I could take off myself in the future
At the end of the entrance a dark hole swallows the people
These things await you then
A SpaceShipTwo was also on display
The spaceport is very keen on sustainability and energy conservancy, as one can read here
Visitors terrace for the takeoffs, still empty... with thunderstorms in the background
Generally it could be said that it was very green for New Mexico, lately it had rained unusually much.

Elephant Butte Dam (construction year 1916), on the way to the spaceport
and - not really fitting - the Half Moon Street
Anothe view of the entrance with another sculpturer
The reception, still unstaffed
and a round tour about the history of mankind from the Stone Age to the Space Age
Here the White Knight 2, the carrier aircraft of the SpaceShipTwo, is supposed to be parked
Of course there has to be a fire brigade!
This view lets one grasp the size of the runway (length: unbelievable 5 km!)
