[ExI] DESIGN: First look at SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo

[Natasha Vita-More]

Today, SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo were revealed.  Stunning. It 
is great to see Burt Rutan enjoying his life so much these past 
years.  I met him in the 1980s when I went to his home and he and his 
family took me to see his Gossamer designs.

"The new designs of SpaceShipTwo rocket plane and WhiteKnightTwo 
mothership were unveiled in New York today, and they include some 
unexpected twists. In fact, you could be excused if you think you're 
seeing double, or even triple."   (

Alan Boyle)

If you draw a circle in the sand and study only what's inside the 
circle, then that is a closed-system perspective. If you study what 
is inside the circle and everything outside the circle, then that is 
an open system perspective. - Buckminster Fuller
