Carmack turned down Quake MMO offers {Joystiq}
Aug 5th 2008 11:48PM Argh, its so odd for me to hear these guys mentioned as game developers. I am more used to Carmack working on Armadillo Aerospace, or Garriott hitching a ride to the ISS on the next Soyuz flight. Did you know his father was an astronaut in the Apollo days and flew on Skylab 3?
Virgin Galactic's WhiteKnightTwo spaceship carrier gets unveiled {Engadget}
Jul 28th 2008 3:29PM I will explain why this was done. This configuration is the optimal design to drop a launch vehicle from an aircraft due to the optimal center of gravity and the fact that gravity works with you to ensure a clean separation (rather than the dicey approach NASA took during the Enterprise tests.) IT also enables Spaceship one to be picked off the ground and mounted rather than requiring cranes to lift it over the aircraft. originally NASA was going to build such an aircraft to haul the shuttle, as well as the Soviets so it is not a new idea by any means.

Jun 25th 2008 12:34PM Well it is not there yet, but it is getting there. In a couple years maybe, when they are more refined. Also in 3D, that is only the reason why I would get it.
