Traditionally, setting up a spaceport was a big deal. It involved securing vast swathes of land, extensive civil engineering, and installing a lot of hardware that was expected to stay in place for decades. It was, essentially, the aerospace equivalent of "a puppy isn't just for Christmas."

However, times and circumstances change.

With space traffic expected to increase exponentially in the near future, more launch companies, both new and established, are seeking to expand existing launch sites or establish new ones in different regions.
