One of the cockpits is a dummy.

I happened to be there in early June when they wheeled it out of the hanger for the first time. It is huge. The picture is good but the scale still is not obvious until you are there.

Paul Allen (Gates partner in MS and owner of the Sea Hawks) is the main money behind it. The amount of weight they can suspend from the middle is more than one would imagine — a whole rocket.
