Presidential Geek Survey Diary – Day 69

Democratic candidate Bill Richardson governs what is now, officially, the Geekiest state in the Union.

New Mexico is getting America’s first “purpose-built” commercial spaceport.

Spaceport America

Spaceport America already hosts The Wirefly X Prize Cup, the Rocket Racing League, a division of the UK’s Starchaser Industries and UP Aerospace. It has also been selected as the world headquarters of Virgin Galactic, brining my impending sub-orbital space flight even closer to reality (I can drive to Spaceport America from my house – now I just need to save that $200,000 spacefare).

Bill, you should talk about this more often. In fact, it fits in very well with the Pink Raygun Geek Survey.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram.
