Unveiling Party for SpaceShipTwo - Virgin Galactic - ROLL-OUT

The real debut of Space-Ship Two at an event for dignitaries and future astronauts in Mojave, California, USA on 07 December 2009. Virgin Galactic unveiled Space-Ship Two after development for the past two years.

This HD video shows the vessel showing up in the freezing desert of Mojave. It was so cold with the wind that I had my hands frozen holding the camera... We had wonderful weather the days before, but this Monday was strangely rainy, windy, snowy, and the event finished by a storm so we had to evacuate the place before the end of the event leaving our personal belongings in one of the tent. The tents then were blown up and destroyed at 8:15 PM by the heavy wind (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdwA-9RR_iA&feature=player_embedded).
The last bus could not take the road and had to stay due to gusts. Today, Tuesday we again have a wonderful bright sunny quiet day... Maybe someone not happy upper there...

For just a moment, in just certain light, both fuselages of WhiteKnightTwo remind me of Snoopy in his WWI flying ace get-up.

Thank you so much for braving the weather and getting this. This could be where it all starts.
