New Mexico is home to some of the country’s richest history, but history isn’t just in the past for the Land of Enchantment. Just a few years ago, the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport was built in our great state, and now you can tour it and learn about what’s to come. We dream of a day where anyone can fly up into the orbit, and we’re getting that much closer to what seems like a science-fiction dream. Head on over to the Spaceport’s visitors center in Truth or Consequences to see all of the action up close.
