In a Space...

Hello fellow stargazers and welcome to another installment of, "They're doing what in New Mexico!?!?" Yes this is the place to be to find out the latest news on what can only be described as the cutting edge, the finger on the pulse of the galaxy of events that is New Mexico.

If you are not impressed with the already comsicallatousness of this fair state, the nuclear testing sites, the myths and legends of alien landings and storage, or the Very Large Array of satellites lining the wild New Mexican frontier, then perhaps I can wow you with two, yes two new points of intrigue to sway your attention.

Yes, living in a town without professional sports can be a drag. Everybody has their own team and their is hardly any camaraderie to be found. But rest assured New Mexican sports fans, help is on the way! Just a few short days ago, a major announcement that will revolutionize sports in the state was made: The city of Las Cruces will be home to the Rocket Racing League World Headquarters!

We are not talking little kids making little rocket racers here folks. We're talking really super rich big kids spending millions of dollars on big rockets!! And the best part is, their really big rocket race will be held each year right in my backyard!

But wait...there's more! How about a 225 million dollar private space port in Southern New Mexico also. Sure...we can do that! You've got it right, New Mexico has made the arrangements for Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Spaceport to be right around the block. Now people in Southeast New Mexico will actually be able to see spaceships on a regular...well...every once in a while basis!

Oh you gotta love it. And, rumor has it that Roswell is planning a gigantic alien amusement park...or something!
