Interesting story about the ongoing efforts into SpaceShipTwo, Burt
Rutan's commercial version of his space plane that will take tourists
into space.

He needs to double the size of Scaled Composites-now some 150
people-to be able to properly handle a roster of projects, including
his commercial spaceliner activity.

Sound like something for us Tripoli/NAR folk to help out with?

least thats what he said at a forum during EAA airventure

including a possible plant in wisconsin
