The Unveiling of Spaceship Two

Virgin Galactic unveiled the first commercial spacecraft today - Spaceship Two.

It won't go into orbit, but:
At maximum altitude, astronauts will be able to see the curvature of the Earth, a view that until now only few people have been able to experience.

Passengers aboard the SpaceShipTwo will be able to remain strapped in and view the Earth from portholes next to their seats, or unbuckle and experience weightlessness, once the craft passes beyond the atmosphere.
The 21st century arrives, at last.
Sounds like a blast.
