"Virgin Galactic Unveiled
British entrepreneur Sir Richard Branson unveiled the mock-up of SpaceShipTwo, Virgin Galactic's soon-to-be-built spaceliner. The new spacecraft, designed specifically for space tourism, seats eight people and will be hauled into launch position by WhiteKnightTwo, a massive carrier larger than a Boeing 757. Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites will construct the vehicles, which are expected to be ready for test flights within a year.

I wonder how much I can get an off-season coach ticket for.

I would only take a next to window seat at best. That is cool.

What's with the huge vertical stabilizers? Wouldn't they burn off at re-entry speeds?

Cool video. I even enjoyed the Yahoo commercial before it started.
