I've heard about it. It creeps up to what's technically "space" and charges something like half a mil a head.  :rofl

Heard about it...its what happens when a multi-billionaire decides to spend a bunch of money on a project most likely just to prove that something can be done. We need more people like him doing all sorts of projects around the world...seriously!

Yup, they flew it into the EAA last year and I got to see it perform.

it's incredibly quiet, you almost don't hear it. It's also huge, the wingspan is enormous.

Here's a pic I took, it didn't have the actual space ship attached in the middle.

Looking at it you would have thought they would have put a single horizontal stabilizer on it. Seems too flimsy just being connected at the wing, what happens if you lose an elevator? Not to mention individual yaw movement in the two fuselages.
