Virgin CEO Richard Branson just opened the first spaceport to put tourists into space.

It is the luxury terminal where wealthy tourists will blast into orbit for $200,000 per return trip. And Virigin’s new space terminal in the New Mexico desert looked suitably futuristic as it was unveieled yesterday.

The building will house Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft, mission control and a preparation area for travellers when flights begin sometime after the end of 2012.
