Atlantic City spaceport proposed

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (WPVI) -- Could Atlantic City be the next frontier in pioneering space tourism?

Two state lawmakers think so.

A pair of state senators has introduced a bill to begin researching the feasibility of Atlantic City's airport becoming a so-called spaceport , that's launch site for space exploration.

Space tourism is expected to be a $34 billion dollar industry by 2021.

If passed, the newly formed commission would have one year to report its findings.
