We’ve got video of last night’s unveiling of VSS Enterprise, the vessel Richard Branson and Virgin Galactic will use the carry well-heeled folks to the edge of space.
Sir Richard and the guys at Scaled Composites rolled Enterprise out of her hangar at the Mojave Air and Space Port, where it was christened by Governator Arnold Schwarzenegger and his less-burly colleague, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico. Enterprise is shown here attached to VMS Eve. The mothership completed flight testing earlier this year; flight tests of the Enterprise are expected early next year. Sub-orbital commercial flights — for those who can afford the $200,000 ticket — could begin as early as 2011.
