Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo (C), slung beneath White Knight Two, the twin-fuselage mothership that will carry it to launch altitude, is unveiled in December 2009 in Mojave, California. A Dubai-based businessman who has signed up to be a space tourist on SpaceShipTwo said he planned to fly the flags of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda on his out-of-world journey in honour of his childhood in Africa.
