Video of Virgin Galactic Test Flight

This video has become available of the Virgin Galactic craft’s first test flight. Dont’ get too excited, it doesn’t go up into space, this is just a run around to test it out.

It’s a very different looking beast from the previous version of the craft, before Virgin got on board. In fact, it’s very different looking than any airplane. It is really odd looking. I kept doing a double-take throughout the video. You can’t believe that it is actually staying together in one piece and not snapping in half. You’ll see what I mean when you watch the video.

Wired has more info.

Cannot wait to see it loaded with the space craft. Next step I suppose.
