Essentially its two airplanes joined together at the wingtips, and that is the area they will hang the loaded SpaceShipTwo on?

I’m all for exploration and expanding the envelope, but in my opinion this whole project is a catastrophe waiting to happen. count me out on this one.

What am I missing here? 18,000 feet at 161 mph is not really very impressive. Many small every day single engine planes can do this.

That has got to be a trip to land. Not being centered in the fuselage has got to take some getting used to.

I am far far removed from claiming to be an aeronautical engineer but something is totally wrong about this configuration, it looks totally stupid and inefficient.
