Virgin Galactic SpaceShipTwo Unveiling

Presented by http://collectSPACE.com -- The Source for Space History and Artifacts.
The first spacecraft to be built for commercial space tourism was revealed Monday, December 7, 2009 in the Mojave desert to an audience of hundreds, including 250 paid ticket holders who will be among the first to fly on the suborbital vehicle.
SpaceShipTwo, which evolved from the record-setting SpaceShipOne designed by Burt Rutan with Scaled Composites, will depart the ground under the wings of the WhiteKnightTwo carrier aircraft. At altitude, it will separate and light its own rocket engine, propelling six Virgin Galactic customers and two pilots to 65 miles high (space begins at 62 miles). SpaceShipTwo will reenter the atmosphere by feathering its wings and then will glide to a landing on the same runway from which it earlier took off.

Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
(1) Why do we love flying?
(2) Why do we enjoy to fly to the space?
(3) Why do we want to design and to build new spacecrafts?
(4) Why do we thnk that space travel and space technology represents self-actualization (human's full-potential)?
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

The resemblance to the x-20 is not uncanny! It's Deliberate...the Dynasoar was a great design, naturally unrealized by a bureaucratic mess called NASA. The oversized version of this became the SHUTTLE. But we know where that has gone.

@boomshanka Actually more like the "Son of X-20 Dyna-Soar". Gotta admit the resemblance is uncanny!
