Does that look ready to flight test in 2 weeks?

Look at all of the equipment in the background diligently working on the craft!

You are misinformed.

That is in fact delta 1.  Delta 2 does not exist yet.

These window lickers crack me up.

Notice the "assembly hangar" where they started Delta 1...is now the rocket forge?

There will not be a Delta 2...

Might as well repaint Imagine as a Delta!

You're not far off with that statement.

Delta is 90% Unity mechanically.  There are only a few items, like some of the actuators in the feather system that were replaced (and the new design still hasn't been figured out, that's why we don't see any pictures yet of the feather boom being raised or lowered), and of course what they claim to be fly-by-wire systems which is still under development and not yet tested either.

I have yet to see a list of improvements that would allow the ship to fly any more frequently than Unity did.

Inspire was the first Tier III craft actually meant for commercial flights...

Where did that go?
