Cape Canaveral is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s main center for sending humans and their robotic surrogates beyond the Earth to explore the space. The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is a place for many expendable rockets carrying civilian and military satellites into orbit around the Earth, as well as those sending robotic spacecraft out into the solar system to explore asteroids, comets and other planets and their moons.

Aeromexico will offer the first daily non-stop service between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Mexico City (MEX) with continuing service to Guadalajara (GDL). From Mexico City, travelers will be able to connect to major Mexican destinations including Acapulco, Oaxaca, Veracruz and others.

“We welcome Aeromexico to the Northwest,” said Port of Seattle Commission President John Creighton. “Mexico City is an important destination for business and leisure travelers from the Puget Sound area. We are pleased that the airline will provide this daily non-stop flight which will serve to further strengthen business and cultural ties between Washington and Mexico.”

“Mexico is one of Washington’s largest trade partners and I look forward to flying this new route on my trade mission to Mexico and Guadalajara this summer,” said Governor Chris Gregoire. “I met with the CEO of Aeromexico when he visited last summer and discussed with him the benefits of a direct flight between Seattle and Mexico, including the ability to create more trade and cultural opportunities.”

The Space Race became an important part of the cultural and technological rivalry between the USSR and the United States during the 1960’s and the early part of the 70’s.

With the recent advent of the Ansari X Prize, the solar system got a lot more interesting with the possibility of affordable suborbital voyages for the rest of us. Space Adventures are working currently on construction of two earth-based Spaceports that will offer suborbital spaceflights, as well as astronaut training facilities. The first facility will be located in Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, while Singapore’s Changi Airport will grow to accommodate the second Spaceport. The both facilities will offer suborbital voyages as main attraction. Space Adventures has yet to announce how much these voyages will cost tourists, but they are adamant that they will be affordable (for someone:) ). I am currently preparing some information about Space Adventures` tourist service so stay in touch…

The City of Buenos Aires is a cosmopolitan and modern urban centre, where every day millions of people, among them tourists, come and go either to work or to visit the city.
The planetarium is impossible to miss as it rises out of Palermo’s busy and popular park district like a spacecraft or a giant eggcup. Between the appropriate architecture and the giant hunk of space rock on display outside the front door, those on the lookout can’t miss it.
