Thanks for the links!
I first saw a picture of the White Knight parked outside Rutan's hangar several months ago. There was speculation at the time that this was the "mothership" portion of his X-Prize entry. Looks like the speculation was right.
I've been a big fan of Burt Rutan dating back to his VariViggen days in the early 1970s. He's one of the most "outside the box" thinkers alive and a damned good pilot to boot. Cool.
