In parallel with the XCOR facility renovation, the City of Midland is applying to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for a Commercial Space Launch Site designation for MAF, an estimated 12 to 18 months process. Upon completion of the licensing process and the hangar renovation, the XCOR presence will begin to ramp up.

How is this diffrent from Front Range Spaceport? One thing: has an anchor tenant.

What will ATC sound like?.....

"Cessna One Four Victor, you have rocket traffic on your 3 o'clock."

Well I guess this is fitting for the area where preparation for the Doolittle Raid took place.

That place needs some competition, but any amount of competition will put them out of bidness. (because everyone will go to the other place)
