New Mexico Tourism Secretary Michael Cerletti added, “The Annual X Prize Cup has the potential to be an event of global importance, bringing visitors and visibility for New Mexico from around the world.
Upham is a far better site for spaceport customers than the coast of Florida: Florida’s unpredictable and violent weather often wreaks havoc on critical launch schedules, its infrastructure is aging and desperately needs upgrading, and its damp, salt-laden air is notoriously hard on the rockets themselves.

 Chapter Two: The Youth's Companion's Pledge
In short, Upham is responsible for placing the Flag in front of the school house, placing the Flag in the classroom, conceiving the idea of a "pledge of allegiance" for a flag salute and promoting its adoption in the public school system and in adult patriotic ceremonies.
Upham thought the grounds of the rural one room school house to be in greater need of beautification than that of city schools.
Upham's idea of the Public School Celebration was to impress the nation with the fact that the American system of free and universal education was the source of America's greatness and to honor the Public School as the most characteristic product of the four centuries of American life.

 The Space Review: Spaceport New Mexico and the X Prize Cup (page 2)
The concept of building a private spaceport in New Mexico, when there is currently only one commercial spaceflight company with a proven ship and another seven at most with solid financing and real hardware, may seem presumptuous to some.
Ten years later, those communities were thriving on the influx of new jobs and cash, reaping the rewards of their foresight, while the rest of the U.S. was scrambling to catch up.
One is tempted to say that for the state of New Mexico, and for the aerospace firms and commercial spaceflight teams that go there either to compete in the X Prize Cup or to relocate, the sky is the limit.
