Default Proof: Smaller can be better
Hey Guys --

A bit off-topic, but thought you might enjoy a little picture history of SpaceShipOne. They faced the same problems we do -- how to get as much as possible in as small a space as possible and keep it as light as possible.

Hi ANDREW! Thanks for sharing that with us. I think RUTAN also holds the record now for the UGLIEST plane to get into space!
