Night with a Futurist - Spaceport Colorado January 9, 2012

Colorado has announced plans for constructing a commercial spaceport for launching future space flights.

While the telecom world has desperately struggled to solve the problem of the "last mile," getting high speed Internet and telecom services into the home, the space industry struggles with just the opposite problem. And Colorado, with its mile high altitude, already has the "first mile" covered.

With it's already mushrooming aerospace industry, and available base of talent and resources, Colorado becomes the logical center of activities for the next space race.

For this reason we have invited three industry experts to help us understand the true potential for the State and the industry. Join us as we probe to answer questions such as:

How will a spaceport in Colorado affect you and your company?
How long will it be before we can begin to see an impact from this development?
If someone is thinking about repositioning themselves for the space industry, what kind of impact would you foresee it having on the jobs market?
When commercial spaceflight happens and gets some competition, what do you think the price to orbit will be, the price for suborbital?
Do you think the inevitable accidents will be a threat to the industry?
What would a Colorado spaceport offer that a New Mexico spaceport would not?
What do you see the "killer apps" are for commercial spaceflight beyond resupply of space station and tourists?
