Virgin's Branson presents new space ship
Tycoon Richard Branson unveiled his newest spaceship
and said that test flights for the vessel would begin this year
Branson, who has ambitious plans to begin carrying tourists on short flights into space by 2010, revealed models and photographs of the newest version of SpaceShipTwo and also the twin-fuselage WhiteKnightTwo which will ferry SpaceShipTwo into the atmosphere for a midair launch.
Construction of the two should be completed by this year.
"2008 is really going to be the year of the spaceship," Branson, president of the Virgin Atlantic airline and a key backer of the private space flight effort, told a press conference Wednesday.
