NASA Orion Project Breaks Ground at WSMR (Las Cruces, White Sands: 2015, budget)

[Six Foot Three]

Once again New Mexico is gaining clout the the Space Industry as NASA just broke ground on the new Orion Project Launch Complex which will replace the Space Shuttle in 2015. This along with the Spaceport being built nearby and also DOD monies in this years defense budget will boost the HELSTF or High Energy Laser Systems Test Facility as this is where all the ''Star Wars'' technology in the USA is going on so way to go White Sands Missle Range.
