Last year Space Adventures indicated that it was seeking partnerships to build the $115-million spaceport. But Eric Anderson, president and chief executive of Space Adventures Ltd., told the media that the company was also looking at a number of other Asian locations for its spaceport, including China, Japan and Korea, but remained confident of the Singapore project's success.
"There is not enough local support... we are still looking for local partners to help finance the Singapore project but it certainly remains a possibility and we are still working through it right now," Anderson said at the Forbes Global CEO Conference.
