Burt Rutan's White Knight Two Space Vehicle (Virgin Galactic))

 

This is from Bob Zoller who is a project engineer on WhiteKnightTwo........
Don't miss the video, URL at the end!!


Finally, you get to see what it looks like.
 Since I got this job here in CA, I have been eagerly
awaiting the day that they unveiled the spaceship and its carrier, WhiteKnightTwo.  


Currently, I am working on the landing gear for WhiteKnightTwo, but as soon as
that is done, I'll move on to the spaceship.  I am very excited to present to you,
if you haven't already seen it, the next generation of space travel.

 

 


I was very busy in San Diego at SolidWorks World 2008, and didn't even see it for myself.
 


 
This is all artwork from Virgin Galactic.  They nailed it.  This is it.  
There's no other way to put it, this is what it looks like.  
And this IS how it works
