What exactly is The Gateway? In short, The Gateway is a large-scale space station, designed to maintain low-earth orbit (LEO), and serve, among other things, as a destination hotel for the space tourism industry. Dependent upon funding, NASA may, at some point in the future, build more facilities in space, but those facilities will most likely be for non-civilian use. Private industry is the only chance civilians will ever have at leaving the earth's atmosphere, and if you're middle class, The Gateway will be your best chance. It's a lot to contemplate, but we believe that it's not only possible, but inevitable. Gateway Spaceport's mission is to fund the construction of a large-scale space station and a fleet of robust lunar landers.
