Popular Mechanics is reporting that Virgin Galactic will do its first SpaceShip 2 glide test today. White Knight 2-1, aka Eve, will lift VSS Enterprise to 44,000 ft and release her, after which she will glide to a landing at the Mojave Spaceport. After a few such flights VG will start a series of powered flights.
