    Gotta hand it to Rutan... The guy does amazing stuff with aircraft design. I still remember going to see Voyager land from its' around the world flight as a kid. Hopefully this will inspire and promote more development in all areas of aviation.

    But...does it really have the ability to do anything that the USAF hadn't accomplished before NASA was even founded? I mean, besides carry dead-weight passengers just beyond the 100km internationally recognized boundary between "not quite in outer space" and "you've just barely made it, but don't go getting comfortable up here".

    @marktim83: right. lets see. long bodies, check. delta wings. check. wingtip flares, check.

    so. where don't they resemble each other in general configuration?

    funny 5 others I showed them both said that Spaceship 2 looks like a line descendant of DynaSoar.

    I feel like there should be more. Perhaps Branson could climb K2 and summit just as the virgin Virgin Galatic SpaceShipTwo passed overhead?

    Just a thought.

    Can some moderator do something about this "weitengrong527" spammer? I know he/she/it's been banned, but the starred among us can still see the pink-highlighted bullshit. IN EVERY POST.
    Edit: don't mean to imply you aren't working on it - it's just that this is the first time I've noticed such a major spambot hitting these comments.

    @chauncy that billups: The "Curse of the Star." Even if he is banned, he'll eventually show up again as "weitengrong528" anyway... :-P The real question is which Star approved him for gray comments in the first place?

    @Ruthless, If you let me: Uh, looking at the history, it seems that RainyDayInterns replied to said spambot, which caused Jesus' banning of it at 1 pm today to be counteracted.

    Personally, I would suggest that if you've been banned - I mean, really BANNED by a moderator, only a moderator should be allowed to see your comments and / or reapprove you.
