🇵🇷 In late 2024, the #spaceport idea stopped being a rumour. The Local Redevelopment Authority for Roosevelt Roads issued a formal Request for Proposals for a Vertical #SpaceLaunch Facility on a 66-acre point called Punta Medio Mundo*, inviting a private developer to finance, design, build, operate, and maintain it. By early 📆 2026 the authority confirmed it had received more than one bid https://innovationreport.net/article/puerto-rico-spaceport/
