Stratolaunch


Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic hasn't even got as far as its first powered test flight of SpaceShip2 and already Paul Allen is turning the concept into a launch system that waltzes past the space shuttle.

With the private sector finally shifting into first gear, it looks as if the Space Age is really starting.




Update: As usual, Gerry Anderson was there first–and his were VSTOLs

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
