Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has announced plans to build the workld’s largest plane in an effort to create a replacement for the retired US space shuttles.
Through his new company, Stratolaunch Systems, he’s teamed up with Burt Rutan, one of the creators of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipOne, the first privately-funded, manned rocket ship to fly beyond earth’s atmosphere.
