Mojave Air & Space Port 2012
On the western edge of the Mojave desert in Kern County, California, there is a place like nowhere else on Earth. In the skies over Mojave airport the first private enterprise space ship showed the world that a small, talented team could put a man into space.
Amazing things happen here.
