Why was New Mexico selected as the site for the world's first purpose-built commercial spaceport? Space travel research was supported in the state for most of the twentieth century by a variety of private individuals and organizations as well as federal agencies and state and local government entities. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, the momentum of that support produced Spaceport America.
Loretta Hall's book Out of this World: New Mexico's Contributions to Space Travel tells the stories---human and technological---of space research in New Mexico that brought this country from the earliest liquid-fuel rockets to the forefront of the developing commercial space industry. From 1930 to 2010: Out of this World in 80 Years.
This website introduces you to that history and offers additional insights to the people and events that have made New Mexico a vital resource in the development of human space travel.
