@AGENTtamerlane I saw a 2 hour documentary on this(no the best spent 2hrs i may add). I recall the practicality of it is to taxi the actual spaceship(the one in the middle) to an altitude where it can launch itself into space. Then it literally glides down to earth from space. I saw the test flight of it and it worked, but I'm not sure when the maiden voyage of this craft is. I wouldn't want to be on that 1.

@AGENTtamerlane It goes near the top of the atmosphere and releases a space shuttle it is much cheaper than a rocket and can be used over and over. They are also going to allow tourists to travel into space as well ($200,000). Don't pay out a machine you don't understand. This is revolutionary!

If you actually looked into it's development, your comment wouldn't be one of ignorance.

please tell me what is so special about 3 airplanes fused together? I do not doubt it is real. I do doubt its practical purpose. Looks like a stupid kids toy. Was probably made to excite child like adults, I guess it did its job.
