Facilitated by the Global Spaceport Alliance, the panel of spaceport operators discussed the value that their facilities bring to the regions they serve and the potential for what they can bring to the nation and world. Moderated by GSA Chairman Dr. George Nield, the panel included Rob Long, CEO, Space Florida, Maj. Gen. (Retired) Ted Mercer, CEO and Executive Director, Virginia Spaceport Authority, Scott McLaughlin, Executive Director, Spaceport America and Arturo Machuca, Director, Houston Spaceport.
