outlando writes: BBC News are reporting that Virgin have unveiled the design for their passenger space craft.
"It is based on the X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne concept — a rocket ship that is lifted initially by a carrier plane before blasting skywards.
The Virgin system is essentially a refinement, but has been increased in size to take eight people at a time on a sub-orbital trip, starting in 2010."
