FOXNews.com - Virgin Galactic Unveils Space Mothership - Science News | Science & Technology | Technology News:
British billionaire Sir Richard Branson and American aerospace designer Burt Rutan on Monday showed off their mothership, which is designed to air launch a passenger-toting spaceship out of the atmosphere.
The rollout — a year after a deadly accident at Rutan's test site — marks the start of a rigorous flight test program that space tourism advocates hope will climax with the first suborbital joy rides by the end of the decade.
More than 250 wannabe astronauts have paid $200,000 or put down deposits for a chance to float weightless for a mere five minutes.
