If Puerto Rico did not have the observatory would puerto ricans need passports?
No, having the observatory has NOTHING to do with the necessity for a U.S. passport. I´ll explain to you the little history that I know about Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico was adquired by the U.S. in 1898 after they had won the Spanish-American War in 1898. Later, in the ´50´s (in 1952 I believe), Puerto Rico´s political status was elevated to a "commonwealth/estado libre asociado." Since then, Puerto Ricans have been American citizens just like anyone else born in the continental US. However, Puerto Rico is NOT a state and Puerto Ricans pride themselves in being Puerto Ricans/Boricuas more often than simply Americans. Thus, a passport is not needed for traveling between the US and Puerto Rico.
