Spaceport America is a bit soggy at the moment. The New Mexico spaceport site and surrounding areas is undergoing horrific, monsoon-like rains, breaking 100 year old records.

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is seeking Federal disaster assistance for Hatch, New Mexico, for example, with that town near the spaceport practically underwater.

Launch preparations by UP Aerospace at the New Mexico site is being impacted, said Eric Knight, Chief Executive Officer for the group. A dry run of flying an UP Aerospace rocket from the site in the near future – the first liftoff from the spaceport – is being mucked up by the downpours, with roads at the locale essentially impassable.

Knight told SPACE.com that dress rehearsals to fire their suborbital rocket are now shifted to early September.
