Still, I'd love to visit one when it opens. I wonder if Spaceport America in New Mexicois going to go all space-themed attractions?

Killed for political reasons, this is a nuclear enterprise less dangerous to human life and health than spreading depleted uranium dust around the Middle East, which the US government favors. And it delivers actual benefits, which its politics-inspired Manifest Destiny wars, from the Philippines to Iraq, do not.
