September 1, 2009 - Spaceport America- Upham, NM
After 3 years of planning and public/private relationship building, it is exciting to see the preliminary construction of the site development at Spaceport America. "The runway is 10,000 ft long by 200 ft. wide. ...large enough to almost be seen from ...space," said Marshall Monroe.
Spaceport America is a $300 Million Economic Development project in the state of New Mexico with strategic partnerships with Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic Venture, Lockheed Martin, and a host of other aerospace businesses.
Marshall Monroe Magic has served as a strategic planning, preliminary design, campaign development, and business development consultant for the project.
February 2, 2009 - Virgin Galactic - London, UK
Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's commercial tourism space venture, has signed an historic 20-year lease with Spaceport America, located in Southern New Mexico. Relatedly, the announcement comes just weeks after the FAA has issued formal certification and licensing to the New Mexico Spaceport Authority. Spaceport America will be the world headquarters for the Virgin Companies' space travel venture, which features WhiteKnightTwo, a launch vehicle designed and engineered by Burt Rutan. "It has been a sincere pleasure working with Governor Richardson, the Virgin Galactic team, the folks at Scaled Composites, and a first-class international design group on this project. From Philippe Starck and AECOM to our local A&E crews, all the talented contributors have helped to make this an 'all systems go' success. It seems so fitting when I think back to the first project I worked on as an Imagineer at Disney in the 1980's - it was Star Tours - a theme park simulator ride we designed with George Lucas that took guests on a fantasy space tourism ride. Now 20 years later here we are building the real thing!" said Marshall Monroe. The MMMAGIC team served as conceptual design and planning consultants in the early stages of the project. Roadways and construction for the facility are now underway and on track for 2010 completion.
