Virgin Galactic Spaceship Caught on Video
Posted in: concept, science, space, Space Tech, Today's Chili
This was supposed to have been a secret. But due to the fact that “several recent published articles have been sufficiently inaccurate and negative,” Virgin Galactic and Scaled Composites together want to “set the record straight” by demonstrating that White Knight 2, the company’s current prototype spaceship, can actually fly, according to Wired.
As a result, there is now a two-minute video clip showing exactly that. The report said that White Knight 2 will debut with a fly-over during the groundbreaking for Virgin Galactic’s Spaceport America terminal. Then in July, Richard Branson will take the controls at the official unveiling at the AirVenture Oshkosh air show. Video after the jump.
