We're out in the Mojave Desert today for the roll out of Virgin Galactic's White Knight Two, the carrier vehicle for SpaceShipTwo.

If our first photo of Virgin's new spaceship didn't do it for ya, how's this video?

To the left of the frame, it's Richard Branson, hanging over a Vargas Girl based on his mum. To the right, it's Burt Rutan, the founder of Scaled Composites and the mastermind of the WK2.

After minutes of waving, they finally came down out of the ship and started answering questions about the massive all-carbon-fiber beast.
