Freud would have a field day with this next story. So, we’ve been covering the super awesome progress of the Virgin Galactic project from day one. In the past, we’ve featured both the spaceport in New Mexico, and the amazing looking spacecraft known as SpaceShipTwo, but recently something caught our eye. A fine looking lady appearing on the side of SpaceShipTwo’s swiss cheese-like fuselage, gives a retro but sexy vibe to this ridiculously expensive adventure. Just what is the story behind this slender, spine bending babe?
But that’s where the story gets a bit strange. Reportedly, she was dreamt up by Virgin’s founder and CEO, Richard Branson, who modelled her after his very own mother. Now I’m not saying that it’s uncool to think that your mom is beautiful, nor am I trying to be conservative regarding the obvious sexy look and feel of the image, but this is a touch over the line. My mom would certainly blush five colours of red if I depicted her in this manner on the side of my billion dollar rocket ship. If he was alive, I wonder how Freud would react to Branson placing his mother on the side of a fuselage, correction, the most expensive phallic symbol the world has ever seen? Does someone have issues? According to Freud, we all have issues.
