It looks as weird as a four-armed human being (some of you might recognize in such a description the Hindu goddess called Kali, which is popularly portrayed in the four-armed form), but it undoubtedly draws anyone’s attention.



And if you want a confirmation, ask people from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, who had the chance to see the creature flying above their heads. The WhiteKnightTwo is a launch craft that people could see for the first time during the Air Venture gathering of the Experimental Aircraft Association, which takes place every year and it’s for the commercial space venture of Richard Branson.

There is a collaboration going on between engineer Burt Rutan, they guy who went to space five years ago (sometime in 2004) and who won the Ansari X prize, consisting of $10 million, and the British billionaire, that had as a result this aircraft.

Virgin Galactic is the company that you should all blame for the apparition of this venture and it has already reported 300 bookings. Multiply it by $200,000 and you will find what a great business the WhiteKnightTwo already is. Quite impressive, you have to admit.
