In Space, No-One Can Hear Richard Branson Scream…

Never mind the White Knight II, check out the DelFly Micro
…as you toss him out the airlock for being so annoying. I must admit I was a little under-impressed by billionaire beach-bum Richard Branson’s show-and-tell of the new White Knight Two yesterday. Yes, amazing technology, blah blah blah. With it’s huge wingspan, conventional jet engines, and twin fuselage, it really just looks like a LearJet gone wrong. Somehow I find the DelFly Micro (pictured here) much more impressive. It weighs only 3 grams, has a 10 cm wingspan, and can still carry a video camera! See a cool dual-view video on YouTube here. Want one of your own? Too bad. You’ll have to settle for something like the massive (6 inch long) Spinmaster Air Hog. At thirty bucks, it’s cheaper than a night at the bar, and probably a lot more fun.
