@EvAnGeLiOn90 you mean it doesn't look very expencive? do you think it would be a better spacecraft if robots were doing the job instead of engineers?
@elliott12591 The problem with a moon lander like this is that if anything happens they wouldn't be able to repair it out there because the materials required would be on earth. It can't really carry much so keeping a repair stock and the time and temperature is not likely to exist on missions such as that.
@diestobereborn I'm pretty sure the Apollo 11 did not have a "repair stock" either, and I have seen the Apollo 11 capsule, the space is pretty much like a camping tent. It's all about doing things right the first time and succeeding.
Probably a lot less bizarre than it looks. Spacecraft are made in such small numbers... You wouldn't build a robotic assembly line to make five cars! So its like a custom job.
@romanking123 With all due respect, SpaceShip One was hand made, too. Rutan's design was so remarkable that, in the eyes of ordinary people, it just seem impossible. He simply have to build it himself.
this clip has that alien autopsy feel about it. like youre not actually seeing people working but people are looking like they are working for the film. anyone know what i mean.
this is clearly a model just for paint at the start see how the apparent diagnal beams are cut for the cabin to rest in it all looks like a film set rather than aircraft construction. where is the electronics.
i know the project is real but this looks like a model
So you are actually comprising the lack of safety equipment with relaxed working environment? So what happens when an employee make permanent damage to his foot because he lack safety shoes and the insurance wont pay? Well the the company wont pay either. Those guys were just working in regular footwear, irresponsible.
The carrier plane White Knight 2 was tested earlier this year, but Spaceshiptwo isn't scheduled to fly until at least December. As of July, about 60% of the vehicle was complete.
Ok at first looks like Han Solo and Chewbacca needed there aswell "bring me the wrench! no the other one!... wrroahahawrrrr!!!".... but if this is Scale Composites and if they took man into space then i say great job! Keep it up!
Thomas Edison fostered an extraordinarily relaxed and informal atmosphere at his Menlo Park research lab. The result: an outpouring of genius and accomplishment light years ahead of his competitors. Similarly, the technicians in this video enjoy a laid-back work environment, and they ended up winning the $10 million Ansari X-Prize. Genius doesnt come from wearing a lab coat and gloves, or a trendy hairstyle.
@InphinityNrG Learn your history. Rutan is exactly like Edison. Hire the best possible in the field to get the job accomplished. Tesla is equivelent to all those that work for Rutan. They are the true innovation in the company. Edison had hit flicker of influence and then had to use others to stay there. Rutan is just repeating history.
@InphinityNrG What did Edison do? He hired the people that could keep his name building up. What does Rutan do? He hires the people to make this work. Rutan didn't come up with the idea himself. He wasn't going to until commissioned to do so by Sir Richard Branson. Rutan did nothing on the engineering. He hired the engineers to design it. Rutan didn't do the work. He hired people to do it. Rutan is nothing more than a loser that under pays his workers for the jobs they are doing.
@InphinityNrG Edison had very few original ideas. He mostly took existing inventions and made them marketable. And even then, he had scientists to do the work.
@InphinityNrG NEEEEERRRD! naw jk, u obviously know your stuff, and i respect that. Now i feel like looking those people up and comparing them for myself.
@InphinityNrG Hey Genius,didn't that body suppose to be made out of Titanium or something similar ultimately covered with ceramic plating?Are those Nasa guys or ordinary contractors?Ty.
Great. my future spaceship is being built from fiberglass and being joined together with bondo. are we serious here? this is state of the art? it looks just like the boat factory i worked in, and reminds me alot of joining the hull with the deck. except there was a special glue involed on the joining seam. not bondo. im just say crap, it looks really cool. but i didn't expect to see a guy bondoing the inside.
first off you probably don't know that bondo is a brand name of body filler, and there is nothing wrong with using that for this type application allthough you don't know what property's this particular body filler has. so lay off please. carbon fiber is worked similarly to fiber glass.
you're an idiot. composite hulls are multiple times stronger than steel and modern adhesives are essentially chemical methods of welding. just because it isnt conventional doesn't mean it wont work (spaceshipone was a great success)
A Battlestar Gallactica type spaceship could be built within a hundred years, by building it on the moon with 1/6 gravity and would easy take off with no atmosphere. But many items would need transporting from earth, including the beer!!
The beer bit was a joke, you know haha!! The B G idea I heard being talked about on the radio so if i'm a moron then theres some others out there with this idea who you need to inform also!!(LOL)
VOYAGE SPETTACOLI ITALIA. Agenti Concessionari autorizzati per l'Italia Vigin Galactic - da oggi è possibile prenotare.
Un sogno trasformato in realtà:
Voyage spettacoli Italia e Voyage Executive.Vivere l'emozione a gravità 0, orbitare in torno alla terra a 121.000! metri di altezza. Godere il silenzio totale in piena assenza di gravità. Tutto questo è ora possibile grazie a Virgin Galactic. Per info; e prenotazioni consultare Voyage spettacoli Italia oppure Voyage Executive
i just hope no body dies... if there are many flights (which they intend) there is a good change one of them will fail.. I wonder how long they will stop flying if someone dies for real...Ofcourse i hope it won`t happen but we all now the record of failed launches and human spaceflight tragedies...
i think the rocket engine and aircraft is still very fool proof, like the rocket engine is supposedly really safe and the aircraft coast back to earth without power.
Burt Rutan is an aerospace genius and Virgin's airlines are among the safest in the world. I think this is the best possible combination for flight safety.
I know atleast 21 people who died in human spaceflight. 488 people have traveled to space. That means that 4,3% DIE!!! Thus EXTREMELY dangerous! Just imagine taking a trip with your car and having a 4,3% change of Dying Each Time!
While most have traveled to space once some traveled more lowering the number but this number also not take into account bystander who died.. for example 21 engineers who died in a 2003 rocket launch (and not counting the other engineers killed in human spaceflight)
Car crashes happen all the time, there's always a chance of human error. Everyone knows this over and over. It's just narrowing that chance that comforts us.
Agree...just interested to know what they will do if it does go wrong (considering other accidents)...I believe there are still more deaths in car crashes each month in the US then people who died on 9/11 (about 43.000 people died in crashes in 2003).
Life; living on a string that snaps at moment`s notice...
...but it`s a great roller coaster and i love every moment!..lol
its so light, they just pick it up like its nothing. These ships are so badass, I hope in 10 years or so I can buy a ticket to Virgins moon base or space station.
They're pissed because it wasn't a "gooberment" job drenched in politics. You see it should have been overregulated by NASA or some other government agency. It should have been designed by a commitee authorized with pork-barrel legislation attatched through Con-gress. It should have orginally cost 25 BILLION and have been delayed 20 years due to safety and enviornmental garbage coming in over budget another 50 billion dollars with Joe Taxpayer picking up the tap. /s
Just because they are not showing process control does not mean its not there. They successfully did something nobody else had done on a shoestring budget. I'm amazed at the comments for those that know nothing of Scaled Composites and Burt Ratan...and I know very little about them except what I've read in trade publications and on the net. Where is Lockheed and Boeings private space operations?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As a Lockheed Quality Engineer, I was watching in horror as they put that thing together, thinking the same thing you did!
Where was the process control? How many safety violations occurred during the building? Where are the industry standards necessary to ensure a quality product?
Lockheed, the guys that NEVER seem capable of delivering anything on time or on budget. *cough* F-22A, *cough* F-35 perpetually sucking Americans dry of their tax dollars.
What's the matter? Not enough beurocratic bullshit involved for you? That's why NASA wastes billions developing the "new" Orion spacecraft yet for 25 million these guys sucessfully reached low earth orbit. My hat goes off to them.
Before you go questioning, please remember that not everyone is educated in some college that forces you to pay thousands of dollars to get a degree that you won't need half of the classes. Engineers are idiots. Especially those that work for the major companies. I know this for a fact after seeing how poorly the JSF is going, and what this company has done with smaller budget and many fewer people. Also, the unions don't help your company.
Lockheed and Boeing couldn't make anything like this. They are too busy spending the U.S. tax dollars to get nothing accomplished except for holding back their research. Not an assumption, it's proof.
Thats why Lockheed mad the sr71 which was sort of like a military 60's version of space ship one, weird right. But no your right Lockheed could never make anything remotely similar to this, ever. April 25th, 1962 never happened
PLEASE DONT READ THIS you will die in seven days if you dont post this comment on 10 videos in the next hour. if you do tomorrow will be the best day of your life
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS ACTUALLY WORKS
as a matter of fact, I bet those "wannabe nerds" make a fuckload amount of money. wat do you make sittin on your computer posting smartass comments all day long "Turbinator"?
Being in security, I go to work and surf the internet all day long, pretending to look at security cameras, and get payed enough to travel every summer, while I am finishing up my school. Im having a blast, how about you?
The whole operation looks about as hi-tech as the local hotrod shop! Okay, I'm sure they know what they're doing, but it sure doesn't look like the big boys' plants; it's hard to believe some of this stuff is going to the edge of space!
It's being made by guys in camo pants and blue jeans. I saw one guy in a hoodie. I'd buy weed from a guy in a hoodie. I wouldn't ride in his spaceship. Unless it was the "magic spaceship."
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I would not ride in this thing even if the trip to "space" was free...looks totally unsafe. Just by looking at the construction, it looks like theyre assembling a scale model...totally unprofessionnal.
how can u tell how safe it looks by a 4 min crapy quality youtube video, have you ever constructed a space ship? didnt think so, ur so fuking ignorant.
All of he sudden Everyone is a Space Expert, if they dont see the Spielberg-white-masked-kinda-suite, they cannot believe it, freaking Peasants, only used to the NASA stuff, th world is Bigger than you think... in the back you can see the Knight plane, you bunch of moronic noobs!
Is nice to know they will charge 500 k+ for a seat to ride this thing and still can't afford to provide clean uniform and hair net for the workers that put it together. Some actual training other then muscle may also be helpful here too.
Just remember this when you see it coming back down as a bunch of flaming pile of materials from outter space on CNN.
Was that gum I saw holding part of the fuselage together? Is there a Vegas line on this crate I should know about?I surely don't want to jinx the maiden voyage but I'm going to bet on the flaming pile of materials you mentioned.
I's really like this and it's a lot better than the short time lapse video they showed at the Boeing plant in Everett. Here they show what is really happening. Now I know Steve Jobs funded Spaceship One and it had a quick jaunt into space. I remember the Skittles floating in Zero G. They'll pull it off - don't you worry.
the hottest recorded year is in 1940s the weather has been in decline ever since, however if u look at it century wise, it looks like its getting hotter, so after a few years we will notice a decline in tempature, but this is not proven at all and is my theory so dont yell at me or stuff like that
So your "theory" trumps the 3000 scientists who ALL agree that global warming is 110% real?
They have temperature records going back nearly 700,000 years via ice sheets.. We're going under... water that is, just you wait. Stronger Storms, more tornadoes in Winter, stronger hurricanes, its going to get a lot worse.
which 3000 scientists? Who would pay 3000 different people that qualified to study one thing? Think before you read some fucking statistic quickly made. Or did they randomly go door to door at different labs and ask what the scientists' opinion on global warming was only to find out only 3000 out of the 999999 scientists agreed on it. fag
even discounting the other holes in your theory, the hottest recorded years are not in the 1940's. Even in this century four of the five hottest years were in the 1990's (and the 5th is in the 2000's... and the data only goes to 2002 so far in many publications). So fooey to you.
Let this be a lesson to you: don't get your "science" from Fox news.
you really have no idea on how these stuff works dont you... Ozone is a gas... not a kind of pellicule or something... when you pass through it, it does the same thing as aire when you walk... there is no air where you are... you are there... but when you move foward, the air around you takes the place you occupied a moment ago... Ozone is the same thing... when a ship passes hrough it, the Ozone take back its place...
oh and by the way... Ozone is not between our air and space... ozone is roughly between 20km and 50 km in altitude, while space begins at about 85-100km in altitude...
mm nope, not really. hybrid rockets are oxidizer-rich, so the fuel has all the oxidizer it needs, the fuel (solid rubber) burns inside the rocket, with the oxidizer (nitrous oxide i believe) so at no time does the fuel become mixed with o3 and burn.

I'm amazed at the comments for those that know nothing of Scaled Composites and Burt Ratan...and I know very little about them except what I've read in trade publications and on the net. Where is Lockheed and Boeings private space operations?

As a Lockheed Quality Engineer, I was watching in horror as they put that thing together, thinking the same thing you did!
Where was the process control? How many safety violations occurred during the building? Where are the industry standards necessary to ensure a quality product?
I am curious about their operations...

Lockheed, the guys that NEVER seem capable of delivering anything on time or on budget. *cough* F-22A, *cough* F-35 perpetually sucking Americans dry of their tax dollars.
What's the matter? Not enough beurocratic bullshit involved for you? That's why NASA wastes billions developing the "new" Orion spacecraft yet for 25 million these guys sucessfully reached low earth orbit. My hat goes off to them.

It appears that Ron Paul couldn't become President but these Lockheeds still get their asses beat by Burt Rutan.

Before you go questioning, please remember that not everyone is educated in some college that forces you to pay thousands of dollars to get a degree that you won't need half of the classes. Engineers are idiots. Especially those that work for the major companies. I know this for a fact after seeing how poorly the JSF is going, and what this company has done with smaller budget and many fewer people. Also, the unions don't help your company.

Lockheed and Boeing couldn't make anything like this. They are too busy spending the U.S. tax dollars to get nothing accomplished except for holding back their research. Not an assumption, it's proof.

Thats why Lockheed mad the sr71 which was sort of like a military 60's version of space ship one, weird right. But no your right Lockheed could never make anything remotely similar to this, ever. April 25th, 1962 never happened

Is nice to know they will charge 500 k+ for a seat to ride this thing and still can't afford to provide clean uniform and hair net for the workers that put it together. Some actual training other then muscle may also be helpful here too.
Just remember this when you see it coming back down as a bunch of flaming pile of materials from outter space on CNN.

the hottest recorded year is in 1940s the weather has been in decline ever since, however if u look at it century wise, it looks like its getting hotter, so after a few years we will notice a decline in tempature, but this is not proven at all and is my theory so dont yell at me or stuff like that
mrkamikazzi 4 years ago
So your "theory" trumps the 3000 scientists who ALL agree that global warming is 110% real?
They have temperature records going back nearly 700,000 years via ice sheets.. We're going under... water that is, just you wait. Stronger Storms, more tornadoes in Winter, stronger hurricanes, its going to get a lot worse.

which 3000 scientists? Who would pay 3000 different people that qualified to study one thing? Think before you read some fucking statistic quickly made. Or did they randomly go door to door at different labs and ask what the scientists' opinion on global warming was only to find out only 3000 out of the 999999 scientists agreed on it. fag
Lejendary2 4 years ago
even discounting the other holes in your theory, the hottest recorded years are not in the 1940's. Even in this century four of the five hottest years were in the 1990's (and the 5th is in the 2000's... and the data only goes to 2002 so far in many publications). So fooey to you.
Let this be a lesson to you: don't get your "science" from Fox news.

redflagshaw 4 years ago
you really have no idea on how these stuff works dont you... Ozone is a gas... not a kind of pellicule or something... when you pass through it, it does the same thing as aire when you walk... there is no air where you are... you are there... but when you move foward, the air around you takes the place you occupied a moment ago... Ozone is the same thing... when a ship passes hrough it, the Ozone take back its place...
turmat01 4 years ago
oh and by the way... Ozone is not between our air and space... ozone is roughly between 20km and 50 km in altitude, while space begins at about 85-100km in altitude...
turmat01 4 years ago
the rocket FUEL when burned BURNS some of the ozone gas which makes it THIN
redflagshaw 3 years ago
mm nope, not really. hybrid rockets are oxidizer-rich, so the fuel has all the oxidizer it needs, the fuel (solid rubber) burns inside the rocket, with the oxidizer (nitrous oxide i believe) so at no time does the fuel become mixed with o3 and burn.
