SpaceShipTwo Design and Pics Released

An anonymous reader writes "Designs and photos for Scaled Composites and Virgin Galactic's new suborbital spacecraft, SpaceShipTwo, and its carrier aircraft, WhiteKnightTwo, have been released." Lots of specs and numbers if you're interested in that sort of thing although nothing hugely detailed.

I think I'll wait...

I wish these effort well. We need more celebrities and boy band members in space.

Not on this rocket: it's designed to come back.

Why not just get it over with

[kannibul]

and build Spaceball 1?

Dude, you're posting all over this fuckin' article. You really need to calm the fuck down. It's not like they are spending YOUR money to do it, so why are you all pissed off? They see a market for it, so they are taking the risks of filling that market. If they fail, it's no skin off of your back. So how about this: STFU and don't worry about it. Maybe it doesn't contribute anything to space exploration, but maybe that's not what they are shooting for. You can't call it meaningless. You can rattle off those physics equations pretty easily, but your stupidity and ignorance outshine you.
