Virgin Galactic’s VSS Enterprise First “Captive Carry” Flight

Author: admin | Files under Air Deals Video

Virgin Galactic announced today that VSS Enterprise has completed her inaugural captive carry flight from Mojave Air and Spaceport. This very first captive carry was a huge success and both the mothership and spaceship looked absolutely stunning against the blue back drop of the Mojave skies.

    “Still nothing beats a NASA space shuttle in beauty of flight.”

    I agree somewhat in that it does not look dangly at a distance and its size is impressive. But economically, these are at the cost of making it extremely impractical. While aerodynamic shape is usually nice, a flying “boat” would look even better, but not aerodynamic. If “vimanas” could be created, they could be the most beautiful flying things ever (other than birds), but we don’t have the technology to make those yet.

    I suppose, once the passenger flights getstarted, all the other airlines will want to jump on the suborbital flight bandwagon.

    @MA3LK

    Oh please. that thing is a load of shit. It cost way to much money. It’s technology is way out of date and we simply do not need it anymore. NASA is quite possibly the most over spending program in the entire US. Just one space shuttle launch is an incredible waste of resources. It can be done for much much cheaper, probably 1/10th of what NASA is currently spending, but nobody wants to face that fact. Especially the old bastards running NASA.

    @f38stingray Haha yeah, although WK2 has already gone through comprehensive testing for this scenario, of course. In fact, I think they even tested flight on just one engine… probably.
    I can’t get over how close the future seems – space tourism, for crying out loud! It’s unbelievable.

    Looks like if an engine goes out, they would have a BIG asymmetric thrust problem.

    @signedadam
    It didn’t go into space yet. It was a captive carry flight, meaning that they were just testing to make sure that the rocket would be save to be carried on the airplane. Looks promising, though.

    @beatlefriend Trans-continential sub orbital commerical flights would be really cool. I’m betting pretty intense flight though. Not for the qweezy types. That will cause a bit of an upgrade for ATC!

    This video sucks they didnt show alot of things like the pilot boarding/exiting the craft. I want to see how its done. Are there 3 pilots? 1 main pilot and 2 co-pilots. SUCKS!

    @Antenox The cockpit is in the right-hand fuselage, for both the pilot and co-pilot. As far as I know, nothing much goes on in the left-hand fuselage. Last year, the “windows” on the left fuselage were just black vinyl stickers. I don’t know if that’s still true. I think one idea for the future is to carry passengers there, so they can watch the launch from up close.
