Cosmic Girl

Cosmic GirlI did a search and didn't come up with this so I am sorry if this has been covered.
Now to the point. I love this concept but do not see this as being a effective way to get payloads into space. It is a great proof of concept but that is all IMO. The name and the craft have all the hype but little can be done with 850lbs. But either way still a very cool story. Hope you enjoy

This is more than just concept. We don't hear much about this aspect. It always makes me wonder why they put such effort and money into this massive ready launch vehicle.

To get some rich people to space on short a notice as possible...?

a reply to: intrptr Ahh very good point.
kinda creepy looking at it that way. I was thinking micro satellite. Not people. Darn you Branson! You tricked me again.

a reply to: intrptr BTW I love that article. Thank you

Wow that's cool! I live in Texas and recently passed by the tech center just outside Waco on a motorcycle trip to the Texas Hill Country. I saw the back of a 747 poking up over the buildings, but, didn't know it was this bird. That center usually has one or two 747s sitting around, so, I didn't think much of it.

I posted pics of it in Mojave a few weeks ago.
