The current status of Virgin Galactic , the sole prospective tenant of the New Mexico Spaceport and its Authority , has led members of the New Mexico legislature to sharply question Executive Director Anderson . After an incident on October 31 , 2014 , Virgin Galactic indefinitely postponed its planned operational startup date in New Mexico . In November 2014 , Anderson requested that the legislature consider creating an supplemental emergency fund to enable the spaceport to maintain its operations , and told lawmakers that the Authority will try to rent out the spaceport for " video shoots or concerts .
