WHY spend million$$$ to build "spaceports" ???

when suborbital planes with jets (like the EADS Astrium design) will
be available, every small jet-executives' airport around the world
will be sufficient for takeoff and landing

 Incorrect and clueless again.

suborbital planes use propellants which small jet-executives airports
are not sited for, hence the need for spaceports

Suborbital is not orbital or trans lunar or trans planetary...

Although, a ship capable of 1/3 gee could take off with wings on Earth
and land vertically on the moon under rocket power - and take off - in
1/6th gravity - if it had the specific impulse to do all that in one
stage AND carry the wings along.. hmm...
