Rutan speaks
Popular Mechanics has a short interview with Burt Rutan, the man who will build our space armada when the Giant Fighting Robots come. In the meantime, he is working on a commercial follow-on to the X-Prize-winning and cumbersomely-monikered SpaceShipOne, which he has graced with the inventive name, SpaceShipTwo. Branson will be buying a boatload of these for his Virgin Galactic spacelines in the near future, so go and check out what the future will hold for us in regard to the spaceships, and other neat stuff.

SIGH
*SIGH*
"SpaceShipTwo"?!
What the hell, man? It's almost like naming the earliest trade ships "Boat".
I respect modesty, but it's ok to be a little zazzy here. Sure, "USS Hyperion" or something is a bit much, but nothing wrong with a little...flava.
SpaceShipTwo?!!
