SpaceShipOne at EAA Airshow
Richard Branson and Burt Rutan announced today the formation of their company that will build the first private multi-passenger spaceship. This was expected after the success of Rutan’s SpaceShipOne as the first private space vehicle that reached space.
It was great to see that the announcement was made at the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh, WI. This is the world’s largest fly-in airshow and convention in the world. This year SpaceShipOne and its carrier jet are at the airshow and will fly in a demonstration this Friday.
I have visited this annual airshow for many years with my father. We both enjoy aviation and this is the best place in the world to see aircraft up close. I will not be able to go this year and it is the one year I wish I could to see the SpaceShipOne in person.
