Burt Rutan: Behind the scenes at SpaceShipTwo roll-out
"Honey, I can't hear you. Emergency evacuation?" Burt Rutan gives me a bewildered look, then hands me his cellphone. I listen for his wife but all I hear is a loud clatter and the howl of the wind.
It's Monday evening and we're in an aircraft hangar outside Mojave, California, a small town around 160 kilometres north of Los Angeles. Sleet and icy winds are gusting outside at speeds over 100 kilometres per hour.
