looks like a boring office park.
|
Boring? Even the terminal? I happen to like it, also note that the renderings are not fully complete.
|
the terminal is ok, but yeah the rest is pretty outer loop office parky.
the idea behind it is, of course, incredibly exciting. |

Typical American way of thinking. :rolleyes: Design looks fantastic and it's a real refreshment in the old and backward America, which unfortunately has become in the last few decades. Indeed, I hope this is just the beginning of modernization of the entire U.S. and the first American step to have the infrastructure that befits a developed economy, not a third world one! Although knowing how things work in this country, the budget will be trimmed down certainly at some point, meaning the plan could be reduced due to chronic lack of funds! :rolleyes: Still, amazing project guys! :cheers: |
^ what the hell?? nice 3rd post lol!

Didn't realize there was an existing thread for this development.
There is a website as the Spaceport is part of the Houston Airport System. A lot has changed as the commercial spaceflight section that is the first phase is nearing completion. The spaces for collaboration between universities and their aerospace training programs are now being planned as part of the second phase, with Texas Southern University's facility being the most prominent at the moment. Here are a few bits from a December 2022 presentation from the Airport System. Overall Site Plan https://i.imgur.com/fcyAiEBh.png Academic Area and Hub Site for Multiple Institutions. TSU will have a standalone building that is highlighted. https://i.imgur.com/k4gk0HXh.png Aerospace Hub https://i.imgur.com/VaZtybLh.png https://i.imgur.com/zFDJBkXh.jpg https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/houston-airports-tsu-aviation-training-facility-18076768.php Quote:

A couple of excerpts on the recent overall developments from a piece on both the Spaceport and Space Center Houston.

Potential Texas A&M Aerospace Research Center at the Spaceport? Perhaps so...

This is pretty exciting. In 1977 I was promised a science fiction future (by Star Wars) and it hasn't happened, but we're finally making visible progress.
I wish we had a space port in the Seattle area, but it seems that rainy and cloudy doesn't cut it at least in this generation. A good chunk of the industry is here but that's not enough. As for the campus, at least they could do sidewalks that aren't right up against high-speed stroad lanes. |
