Huh. This got by me… Virgin doesn’t seem to be as media-savvy as SpaceX.
It’s a nice-looking launch. But what it looked like to me was less the launch of a space vehicle, but the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile: with the 747 reaching the end of its passenger carrying life, perhaps the USAF should buy a few thousand of them and modify them into missile carriers for a new generation of air-mobile, air-launched long range nuclear strike system. I’m sure the Harris administration will get right on that.
