Re: SpaceShip One nomenclature
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. SpaceShip One is a program (and a vehicle) designed by Burt Rutan. He's trying to build the first privately-owned system to get a pilot and 2 passengers into space. He's built 2 vehicles. One, called the White Knight, is a weird airplane. It straddles the other (called SpaceShip One) and lifts it into the air. When they're high enough, SpaceShip One uses a rocket engine to fly into space. They then land like airplanes.
