I think the key to the article is on page 2 where it states "Mojave qualifies as the new Area 51 not because of large military contractors—there's only one here—but because it has lured a critical mass of small, entrepreneurial private-sector players to a freewheeling testbed that's open to anyone with the funding, brainpower and ambition to devise a new way to fly—within the atmosphere or above it." Clearly they used the title of "new Area 51" as a headline grabber.
