Geek News: the Debut of the World's First Commercial Suborbital Spaceship!

Awesome! The debut took place in California's Mojave Desert, and the SpaceShipTwo rocket plane was unveiled by Virgin Galactic. Its name? The VSS Enterprise, of course!

Even better about the name is this additional thought, as noted in the news story:

The name pays tribute to the sailing ships of old as well, to the fictional "Star Trek" starship - and to the idea that the craft will bring private enterprise into the world of space travel, said Virgin Galactic's president, Will Whitehorn.

Heck yeah!

Ooooh, check out some very cool photos. Technophiliacs, rejoice!
