THE WORLD NEEDS MORE SPACEPORTS. OMAN WANTS TO HELP

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

There are no commercial spaceports in the Middle East or Africa. Oman's geography makes it a uniquely suitable location in the region for a spaceport. It is aiming to join the small number of countries that possess the facilities to launch objects into space by 2027. If all goes according to plan, the spaceport will launch everything from small suborbital rockets to superheavy behemoths into space.
