That's definitely the most interesting part. A clone of SpaceShipOne, with a rocket done by SpaceX? Is there anything special about this company?

- ryanwhitney 15y agoMojave Aerospace Ventures developed SpaceShipOne. It was co-founded by Paul Allen. Seems odd this wasn't mentioned in the article.
- maaku 15y agoVery odd, as this is effectively SpaceShipThree.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoNot a clone of SpaceShipOne, a new carrier aircraft that is a derivative of White Knight / White Knight 2 and a new rocket that is a close relative of the Falcon 9. The "special" part is that nobody has done that before, and it may prove to be a worthwhile endeavor.
