What is that mystery plane?  I watched the video.  Sort of looks like three airplanes on one set of wings.  I heard someone say spacecraft.  Is it supposed to go into space?  With jet engines?

Virgin Galactic craft that was supposed to go into space at a quarter a million per person just crashed killing the copilot.  The pilot survived.  Apparently copilot made a fatal error.

Think of how many motorcycles that would buy!!   So this holds 6 passengers and 2 pilots?

Terry, the spacecraft is the center section which is dropped at altitude and it accelerates with rocket power.

Oh I get it now, that must have been before the recent crash.

Correct.  Basically it is a civilian space shuttle.  Private space travel once the bugs have been worked out.  Check out the crash survivor's story.  No space suit to keep the door small.  When the craft broke apart around him the water on his tongue boiled.

And I thought it hurt when I burned my tongue on a hot pizza.
