Virigin Galactic's second spaceport may be in the UAE
Richard Branson, the British founder of Virgin and its myriad of business units, is a frequent visitor to the UAE and is rumoured to be in discussions to make it a hub for commercial space travel.
Bahrain is also being considered, according to a report in Arabian Business magazine.
The first location for Virgin Galactic will be the Mojave Spaceport in the Californian desert, but this is expected to be used primarily for space tourism.
