Virgin Galactic releases design, and ideal scenario for Spaceship Two [link to video]

Wow. I am truly in awe.

I can't tell if this is piloted, then with 4 passengers, or if it is fully autonomous. Either way, holy shit.

Would they include a cabin with a bed? Yeah, that would be great.

It will have to be piloted. Re-entry is just too risky.

I heard its 200k USD. Not bad to go to space, even if its only for 5 mins of 0 gravity. The whole trip is around 3 hours, and one week of training.
