Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo (C), which is carried by a twin-hulled aircraft named Eve, is unveiled in Mojave, California December 7, 2009. Eve will carry SpaceShipTwo to an altitude of about 60,000 feet (18,288 meters) before releasing it. The spaceship will then fire its onboard rocket engines, climbing to about 65 miles (104 km) above Earth. [Agencies]
