The craft, which aims to rise more than 100 kilometers above the earth's surface traveling at more than three times the speed of sound, was dreamed up by Burt Rutan, 61, a US engineer who had already worked on 'Voyager,' which in 1986 became the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling.
