Virgin Galactic New SpaceShipTwo Animation

[Freehawk52]

Let's change those analog gauges for all glass panel

[ZSedlacek]

I'd feel much more comfortable flying in one of those things if thye didn't look like a child's toy

[ecros]

Yes please. Where is the sweepstakes form to fill out? I don't have $200k.

[MCLovin7002]

...wow awesome!

i want to fly with the spaceship...must be amazing!

[rawdenashitey]

so dis is were we will b spending our holidays now aye!

[stockshunter]

are there any comet vomits operating commercially in UK?

[miltona635]

cute but what happens when someone has to Pee or Crap, or crap in there?

[Farnirs888]

Most logic approach would be to get examined by doctors and other specialists and get artificially stimulated or naturally go to toilet., so you know for sure you are not going to toilet any time soon, because first travels by this ship will cost 200,000 and none would want to spoil his costly trip by looking at someone who has diarrhea in his pants.

[Farnirs888]

And I'm am sure that those passengers will have water proof costume, something similar in video, so if you do shit yourself, you at least don't ruin the trip for others. OR, none cares, if you forgot to go to toilet, it is your own damn fault.

@miltona635 they are up only a short time, I think this design must have some sort of mechanism in place in case of injury/space sickness, and bathroom capabilities.

[miltona635]

@ighforever I think your right.. I suspect they have to factor in the 'excretions capability' of the human body, as it relates to hygiene and necessity.

[Feircejaguar]

why no nose wheel?

[ogicabp4u]

Because the mothership will have to fully support more than the spaceship's full weight at invariably higher than 1G when in flight before separation. So there is no need for it to be supported when its only experiencing 1G (ie less than in flight) DUH!!!

[LightflowFox]

Hooray! The Enterprise lives on! *geek-gasm* I'm so excited. I can't wait to see this become a reality. this kind of thing is 30 years past when it should have happened. We should be living on the moon by now darn it.

[stockshunter]

I was under the impression this is happenning. Stephen Hawking went in one excursion.

[divingdebs]

nah - he was on the zero-G Boeing 727, otherwise known as the 'vomit comet' which gets its weighless sessions using parabolic flight path. Also used for the weighless shots in Apollo 13 film.

[stockshunter]

Cheers mate.

[ogicabp4u]

geek-gasm such a cool phrase. Did you make that up?

[RainbowManification]

@LightflowFox we would have a moon base if the apollo program was never canceled. NASA could do wonders if we cut the defense budget and gave that to NASA. The shuttle program would of never been cut, hell the Shuttle program would of been replaced by something far more advanced by now.

[gogo19861028]

that's amazing

[9TKyuubi]

that looks awesome, I kinda miss the old design though.

[Tubes12AX7k]

The pilot sits kind of far from the runway centerline. Wouldn't he have a bit of visual "parallax error" on take off? Or would he view a synthetic view of the centerline? Just curious.

[Xigano1]

Just to weer of on a tangent for a second.

Can anyone explain the virgin logo to me ?

It looks like a handwritten signature and it says 'Virgin'.

What are they trying to tell us ?

Is the company like a virgin ? - (don't know whats great about that).

Is the the founder a virgin ? ;-)

And is the eye of virginity supossed to watch us from the sky ?

Questions uppon questions ...

[SoldierCyfix]

they have a pact with virgin mobile

[huffinpaint]

they are virgin mobile and virgin records, airlines, etc etc

[ogicabp4u]

The founder and owner of the Virgin Group is Sir Richard Branson. He said in an interview that he needed a name for his then record label back when he started out in his teens. He had several girls around his place at that time and so they said they were all 'virgins' so they decided to call it virgin.

Look for intervies with Richard Branson...he mentions this in several interviews.

Google is your friend.

[delmas194]

guys i heard about the construction of a space hotel in a near future can you confirm that ?

[Helge129]

yup,...in 50 years maybe. if you consider that "near future"

[putittogether]

VSS Enterprise. Very good choice, Burt.

[mustang1298]

my cell phone is a Virgin Mobile

[charcoalmenz]

I want that space suit

[lesliejs]

who designed this animation? it's top-notch..

[soyoman]

The center pod itself has a booster rocket engine, once the plane gets it to max altitude the pod detaches and the rocket engine kicks in, propelling it the rest of the way into space. The plane will already be flying close to 5-600mph if not more, the rocket booster is more than powerful enough to break orbit.

[NewVoyageNews]

It doesn't actually break orbit, it is a suborbital spacecraft, but it will reach space, which is 100km (68miles).

Please see my other videos for SpaceShipOne's flight using the same method.

[iBanez0507]

Those suits are pretty wicked

[EPsuperFan]

the problem is how to make 2:10-2:30 happen...

[NewVoyageNews]

Please see my other videos for SpaceShipOne's flight using the same method. It made this flight 3 times in 2004.

[melfiire]

oh i know now

[melfiire]

errm it takes like 20000 mph to get out earth therer plane engines hows that posisble

[lesliejs]

that's the altitude (distance from the ground) measured in feet.
