HOUSTON, Texas (AP) -- A remote West Texas spaceport being built and bankrolled by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos launched a test rocket Monday for the first time.
"There was a launch, a one- or two-minute event," Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Roland Herwig said from the agency's office in Oklahoma City. He had no details.
The exact nature of the 6:30 a.m. launch or the type of spacecraft was not immediately known... |

Dope! I didn't know about this one. This is just the beginning. NK is welcome to invest in JP Aerospace if they want. Their method of getting into orbit without the use of rockets is brilliant.
