Talk:VSS Spirit of Steve Fossett

VSS Voyager
In this article from the SanFran Sentinel, it says that the first Virgin Galactic White Knight Two will be called "Spirit of Steve Fossett"... (also in CBS SanFran ) So that would mean that the spaceplane in this article is _still_ called "VSS Voyager", and not VSS Spirit of Steve Fossett. 70.55.86.160 (talk) 14:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was move to VSS Voyager. This talk page was not moved as there is significant discussion in each, rather I will place a pointer from talk:VSS Voyager back to here. Andrewa (talk) 06:01, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Requested move
As stated above, the article from Time (2007-10-10) does not specify which half of the design will be named after Steve Fossett:
 * …a unique aircraft we are now building to launch people, payload and science into outer space next year. We plan to name it Spirit of Steve Fossett in his honor.

Whereas the article from the San Francisco Sentinel (2007-10-10) is more specific in that it will be the first Scaled Composites White Knight Two mother ship that is named "Spirit of Steve Fossett":
 * He added that the first flight will likely take off from the Mojave desert, carried up into the atmosphere from a mother ship he plans on naming “The Spirit of Steve Fossett,” after the explorer who went missing a month ago during a flight in Nevada.
