Virgin Galactic reveals giant mirror feature in cabin design for Beardy Branson's space bus
Thursday 30th July 2020 12:45 GMT
So apart from the facts that:
- It's not a reveal of _a_ spaceship cabin because its CGI.
- It's not a reveal of _the_ spaceship cabin because the "spaceship" will have 4 seats, not 6.
- It's not a reveal of a _spaceship_ cabin because it doesn't reach space.
the rest of it is probably perfectly accurate.

French pensioner ejected from fighter jet after accidentally grabbing bang seat* handle

Re: Double ejection
A very interesting (if quite long) podcast episode from the often excellent Omega Tau on host Markus Voelter's flight with the USAF dispaly team Thunderbirds, including the excellent medical briefing and flight briefing he went through. The mind boggles that this french guy seemed to just rock up and go.
