Their plans, unveiled Tuesday, call for a twin-fuselage aircraft with wings longer than a football field to carry a rocket high into the atmosphere and drop it, avoiding the need for a launch pad and the expense of additional rocket fuel.

Clarke predicted a lot of things.
Anyway, I want dimensions and pics, either computer-generated or the real McCoy.

They keep pushing back the start of the Tri-Fokker replicas and I"m going to go out there and fuck somebody up.
Uh, not that Scaled Composites is doing anything of the sort. Or even has any plans to do so. Nope, not a bit.
