One of Microsoft’s original founders is helping to finance the biggest airplane ever. The Stratolaunch will launch rockets into space from about 30,000 feet. The aircraft will be be designed to operate from a large airport, eliminating the need for launching pads. Allen said it “will bring airport-like operations to the launch of commercial and government payloads.”
You might wanna arrive at the airport about 5 hours early for THAT TSA grope. I wish him luck, but I’m not flying until at least Service Pack 3.
