Why 50 years? Why not now? A lot of campanies are already trying to get liscenes for spaceports here in Texas and the other places in the US.
TEXAS
Example: Midland - XCOR, South Padre Island - SpaceX, Van Horn - Blue Origins, Mesquite - Armadillo Aerospace
OTHER PLACES IN THE US
Example: New Mexico - Virgin Galactic, Mojave - Masten Space Systems, Florida - Kennedy Space Center, etc
So then why is every state competing for spaceports? Because they know its important for commercial/tourism space flight. Its a start.
